I have a custom MembershipProvider and a custom StaticSiteMapProvider.  All of my user, role, and navigation data is stored in a SQL Server database.  I want the navigation menu to be limited based off which user is logged in.

The user logs in using the standard Login control which communicates with my custom MembershipProvider.  Once they are logged in the custom StaticSiteMapProvider builds the navigation menu. 

Is there an easy way to fetch the logged in user name (from the MembershipProvder class) in the StaticSiteMapProvider class so that I can limit the menu?

I managed to figure it out myself.  I must not of had enough coffee this morning.

It was actually pretty simple.  I had a property in my custom provider that I stored the user name.  So to do it you just do the following inside the custom StaticSiteMapProvider:

using System.Web.Security;

...
MyMembershipProvider provider = (MyMembershipProvider)Membership.Provider;

string userName = provider.LoggedInUser;
...
