    GetUser() always null

    Shouldn't this work:

     _author = node.CreatorName;
     var user = System.Web.Security.Membership.GetUser(_author);

    I have a document that I want to find the member's loginname/username who created it.

    The document node will have the user id or his fullname but I want the loginname. I thought the above code would get it but it always returns null so I can't even begin to use the property .UserName.

    What have I done incorrectly? 

    Thanks

    Deci.

    In Umbraco you have members and users. You are trying to get the user through the member api. That won't work. Try this:

    umbraco.BusinessLogic.User user = new umbraco.BusinessLogic.User(id);
