In FoxPro you should use SYS(1) to get the username.

>In C# using Environment.UserName returns the name of the server. Same value no matter who is logged in.

Doing what exactly? A Web application? Logged in via RDP? Those things affect the host identity and don't behave the same as a local account running on a local machine.

IOW, Environment.UserName is the correct thing to use in a desktop application, but it gets you the underlying Windows identity that the process runs under.

In .NET there execution contexts though - Web applications have their own context so they support also have a logged in security for example, which is set separately based on an HTTP login (ie. HttpContext.Current.User.Identity?.Name).

IOW, context matters...
