C# SvnClient Get Authorization Username

Question

I can't seem to find a way to get the username through C# SvnClient.

In command line, you have ability to type "svn auth" in command prompt, and it shows the username there.

However, it is not as simple in the C# SvnClient API.

The API does have an "Authorization" Property -- which, unfortunately does not have a direct function call to grab the username.

Anyone know how?

Do you mean `SvnClient` class from SharpSvn library? – Leonid Vasilev Jun 16 '18 at 19:19 — Leonid Vasilev, Jun 16 '18 at 19:19

After long solo search, I found it is possible to do. -- Though it is not pretty

var cachedItems = SvnClient.Authentication.GetCachedProperties(SvnAuthenticationCacheType.UserNamePassword)

Unfortunately, this does not return back any public fields for username or password. This does however, have a private field called "_filename" that can be used to get the username / password. --- Which can be accessed by using reflection.

foreach (var item in cachedItems)
{
    ///find the matching Uri to the repository you want
    if (item.RealmUri.AbsoluteUri == ...)
    {
        var type = item.GetType();
        var fields = type.GetFields();

        var filename = fields.First(x => x.Name == "_filename").GetValue(item);

        ///Now just need to parse the file
        using (var streamReader = new StreamReader(new FileStream(filename, FileMode.Open)))
        {
            while (streamReader.ReadLine() != "username") {}
            streamReader.ReadLine(); ///There is 1 garbage line after username before the actual username
            return streamReader.ReadLine();
        }
    }
}
