I would suggest doing a search for the user by samAccountName using the
DirectorySearcher component in the System.DirectoryServices namespace. With
that, you can view additional AD attributes of the user including their
display name and full name.

There is more information here:

There are also a few gotchas with using System.DirectoryServices in ASP.NET
due to security context and delegation issues that you should know about:
