title: How to fetch data about current user in ASP .NET MVC?
body: <p>So, I added a new Parameter to my <strong>ApplicationUser</strong> class, which is called <strong>SocialName</strong>. I would like to display it when user is logged in, at the top right corner. There, we have this piece of code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>@Html.ActionLink("Hello, " + User.Identity.GetUserName() + "!", "Index", "Manage", routeValues: null, htmlAttributes: new { title = "Manage" })
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Now the thing is, I would like to display parameter other than Current user's username. I found passing the model to the <strong>Partial View</strong> problematic because I need to do it for every single action, otherwise I will have <strong>Null Reference</strong>. Do you have any ideas how to do this?</p>
