Assuming you have a people editor control defined like below:<\/p>\n

<wssawc:PeopleEditor AllowEmpty=”false”\u00a0 ID=”myPeopleEditorControl” runat=server SelectionSet=”User<\/strong>” MaximumEntities=”1″ MultiSelect=”false<\/strong>” AllowTypeIn=”false” Width=’500px’ \/><\/p>\n

The following code sample will get you the currently logged on user’s login from the PeopleEditor control:<\/p>\n

\u00a0 ArrayList peEntities = myPeopleEditorControl.Entities;
\n \u00a0 PickerEntity pickEn = (PickerEntity)peEntities[0];
\n \u00a0 stringLogIn = pickEn.Key;<\/p>\n

This comes handy when you want to create an SPUser context out of the entities kept in the PeopleEditor control. For example:<\/p>\n

\u00a0private SPUser GetUser(string logIn)<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 {
\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 SPUser user = this.workflowProperties.Web.SiteUsers[logIn];
\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 return user;
\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 }<\/p>\n

Don’t forget Required Field Validation on your people editor control if you want the code not to break on you.<\/p>\n
