In any case, if you're using Windows authentication, you can use 
System.Web.HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name, but I think if you're
using other authentication modes, you'll have to get it from 
System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Request.ServerVariables["AUTH_USER"].  Both
will give you DOMAIN\LANID, so you'll have to parse out just the LAN Id if
that's all you need.

keep me posted if u still have issues.....

Visual Basic .NET Text Manipulation Handbook
The .NET Framework brings a variety of string manipulation features 
to the VB language, and some of these, namely regular expressions 
and the StringBuilder class, are something VB 6 developers may not 
have seen before. This book teaches you how to manipulate text using 
these string matching, manipulation, and replacement classes. Issues 
such as Localization and data conversion will also be investigated.
