You need get user user information from user manager:
string username = HttpContext.Current.GetOwinContext()
.GetUserManager<ApplicationUserManager>().FindById(ID).UserName;

how to assign this value to string variable
Sam FarajpourGhamari
This is a string variable actually. You could write
string username=... instead

@Chathz
var automatically determines the type of the variable by what's being assigned to it, so in this case, username would be of type string.you can get the username of any MembershipUser using the below code:
string userName = Membership.GetUser(userId).UserName;
userId is the Guid primary key of the user.

but here I getting following error
An exception of type 'System.ArgumentException' occurred in System.Web.dll but was not handled in user code Additional information: The provider user key supplied is invalid. It must be of type System.Guid
user1666620
@Chathz so make sure the userId you are using is a GUID. Use a cast if necessary. What is the value of the ID you are using?
user1666620
@Chathz the problem isn't with my code, the problem is how you are getting the value of the UserId. This answers your question as you asked it.
Chathz
why I'm getting error as
Unable to connect to SQL Server database. when I using follwing code string duser = Membership.GetUser(userID).UserName;Chathz
is that becuse my membership providers diffrent ? I'm using aspnet.identity membership provider for my project

//first get the User id by calling user.idetntity
var user = User.Identity.GetUserId();
//appuser
ApplicationUser appUser = new ApplicationUser();
appUser = db.Users.Find(user);
//get the user name
var Name= appUser.UserName;

Do explain your answer a bit, rather than just writing down some code, it helps the readers to understand your answer better.
