    Get membershipHelper in API Controller

    Hi,

    I need to retrieve the username of the current logged in member (front-end) from within an API controller, using the new Service APIs (I can do it with the legacy APIs but would prefer not to use deprecated functionality). However, I'm struggling to get a context to be able to get a valid MembershipHelper.

    I've tried the following as per the documentation:

    var membershipHelper = new Umbraco.Web.Security.MembershipHelper(Umbraco.Web.UmbracoContext.Current);

    ...but Umbraco.Web.UmbracoContext.Current errors, saying Umbraco.Web.UmbracoHelper does not contain a definition for 'Web'.

    Can anyone suggest how to get MembershipHelper correctly from in an API Controller?

    Thanks.

    Hi,

    Try this 

    Umbraco.Core.ApplicationContext.Current.Services.MemberService

    http://our.umbraco.org/documentation/Reference/Management-v6/Services/MemberService

    Thanks Oleg, but it's the MembershipHelper (http://our.umbraco.org/documentation/Reference/Querying/MemberShipHelper/) that I'm trying to get, rather than the MemberService.

    Regardless, Umbraco.Core.ApplicationContext.Current.Services.MemberService still errors ('Umbraco.Web.UmbracoHelper' does not contain a definition for 'Core' ...etc).

    Any other ideas?

    I'd missed the fact that the class inherits from Umbraco.Web.WebApi.UmbracoApiController, so getting MembershipHelper is as simple as this: 

    MembershipHelper membershipHelper = new MembershipHelper(UmbracoContext);

    ... from which I can now derive the current member username, using the memberService which is declared as follows:

    var memberService = ApplicationContext.Current.Services.MemberService;
