[out,
retval] BSTR* pbstrName
);
Parameters
- pbstrName
Return value. Pointer to a BSTR that contains the current user's friendly name.
Return Value
Returns one of the following values. For managed code applications, these return values are received in the form of a COMException.

Success.
- RPC_X_NULL_REF_POINTER
pbstrName is a null pointer.
- E_OUTOFMEMORY

Remarks
If the local client is offline when the IMessenger::MyFriendlyName property is called, the call returns the HRESULT or COMException MSGR_E_NOT_LOGGED_ON.
Even when online, this property does not recheck the user store for the current user's friendly name. The value returned is always the value sent through the protocol on the initial primary service sign-in.
Example
The code example illustrates the querying of the MyFriendlyName property of communicator, a IMessenger interface object.
string myFriendlyName = null;
try
{
myFriendlyName = communicator.MyFriendlyName;
