Answer 1

Ok, i found the solution. I have created a base Service class where added constructor with User parameter and then assigned to all Services the my base Service class.

See my answer here. Get UserId from class library project

Pretty much the same thing. In your MVC controller, create a variable and store the user name like this - string user = User.Identity.Name;

Then just add a parameter to whatever methods you need the user for in your data project, and pass the user variable along to your methods.

Answer 3

I have created a static class which is reusable anywhere.

    public static class GetUserName
    {
        public static string Name(IPrincipal user)
        {
            return user==null? HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name:user.Identity.Name;
        }
    }
