Access to User Group Info

[hobospy]

Hi everyone,

First post and I will let you know that I'm not the most versed individual when it comes to .Net coding but I am about to ask what I have been told is a complex issue.

I am currently writing a piece of code and am wanting to disable certain options according to the Security group that the user is associated with as part of the network. Is there any way of getting access to this information using VB.Net?

Thanks folks and hope to hear from you soon

Can you be a bit more specific about your goal? What options are you trying to disable, and you do mean to prohibit these options for the user that is currently logged on, right?

All I'm actually trying to do is disable a "Save" option from the menu within my application, at the moment I am looking into stuff around WindowsPrincipal which is looking pretty positive.

There is one example here http://www.vbdotnetforums.com/showthread.php?t=9043

Thanks everybody, done and dusted, like I said I used the WindowsPrincipal thingy and it all worked out OK
