How can I obtain the login name of the caller of my UDF written in a CLR language?

I am using MS SQL Server 2005.
Is there a way to obtain the login name of the caller of my user
defined function implement in managed C++?
I know I can get the information using the code segment below but I
want to avoid connecting back to the database for performance reasons.
String^ queryString = "select suser_sname()"
SqlConnection conn = gcnew SqlConnection(connectionString);
SqlCommand command = new SqlCommand(queryString, connection);
conn.Open();
SqlDataReader reader =
command.ExecuteReader(CommandBehavior.CloseConnect ion);
while (reader.Read())
{
reader[0];
}
Thanks,
Steven

That will return the Windows user not the sql login.

|||I read that that is what you desired; "obtain the login name of the caller".
There was nothing to indicate you were using SQL Logins.
Since that is know to and in SQL Server, and not known to the client
application, the only way is to ask SQL Server to provide it. That may
require a 'wasted' round trip. You might call a stored procedure, have the
stored procedure call the UDF, and pass the SQL Login back as a output
parameter.
Of course, I don't know how you are using the UDF, so that may not work for
you.
