[Guest]

I am wanting to make a login for my VB app. Basically what I want to do is have a user enter their username and click "login". When they do this, the program binds to the user in AD and checks to see if it is a member of a particular group within Active Directory. I have everything working except for how to check if a user is a member of a group. Does anyone know an easy way to do this?

Your help would really be apprecaited!

Thanks

There's no built-in VB.Net command. Maybe you'll get an answer in one of the
..Net Framework groups:
microsoft.publc.dotnet.framework.*

Hi Armin,

How would I read this?

Top-Down and left to right?

Or, read it as "I am part of the .Net Framwork class library and I am
neither part of the VB language nor part of the MSVB runtime."

- or what do you mean?

I mean in the link, there is written how to know if a user is a member of a
windows group.

But I never tested it so maybe it is not for the AD, however it is all
VB.language code.
