ASP.NET Identity, get User ID on POST Request
Hello,
I'm currently learning ASP.NET Identity and would like to make a Recomendations Website. Currently I've a Model File which has a userID datafield which has a Foreign Key to the IdentityUser.Id. Now my question is how can I add the Current Logged In User ID into this field without any Security Problems? I coul'dnt really find anything on google and if then just things that doesnt work or exist anymore.

In any ASP controller, you can access the
HttpContext.User property to see what is known about the current logged in user
That property in turn has a few interesting properties, like Identity, Claims and Identities
use the debugger to inspect those for a logged in user, and you'll probably find something you can use to look up the userid
alternatively, change your login method to register a claim with the userid
