Get The Windows User's Display Name in Asp.Net Mvc

Simplest version I can find...

// using System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement;

public string GetDisplayName(string name)
{
	using (PrincipalContext context = new PrincipalContext(ContextType.Domain))
	{
		using (UserPrincipal user = UserPrincipal.FindByIdentity(context, name))
		{
			return user?.DisplayName;
		}
	}
}

GetDisplayName(System.Web.HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name);

or simply

GetDisplayName(User.Identity.Name);

(This is in a situation where we're using Windows Authentication in an Intranet application)
