UserInformation userInformation = new UserInformation();
userInformation.Name = "John Doe";
doc.FieldOptions.CurrentUser = userInformation;

DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);

// Create a USERNAME field to display the current user's name,
// taken from the UserInformation object we created above.
FieldUserName fieldUserName = (FieldUserName)builder.InsertField(FieldType.FieldUserName, true);
Assert.AreEqual(userInformation.Name, fieldUserName.Result);
