    Getting the user language

    I want to get the current users language setting in the back office, for use with CultureInfo. 

    Currently I am trying this:

    var user = userService.GetUserById(userId);
                    userName = user.Name;
                    userLanguage = user.Language;

    But I am uncertain what values to expect from user.Language? Finding it hard to find any good documentation for userService. Any help much appreciated :)

    Hi Dennis, thanks! :)

    So I gave it another try now after working on some other stuff for a while. I made a static helper class with a using statement for Umbraco.Web, and I try to get the user like this:

    var user = UmbracoContext.Current.Security.CurrentUser;

    ...which returns null. 

    Am I missing something?

    Hi Johann,

    We are using code this method:

            public static IMember GetCurrentMember()
        {
            var membershipUser = Membership.GetUser();
            if (membershipUser == null)
            {
                return null;
            }

            var user = membershipUser.UserName;

            var service = new MemberService(new RepositoryFactory(), new MemberGroupService(new RepositoryFactory()));

            return service.GetByUsername(user);
        }

    Thanks, Alex
