If you want to find out if a user is a particular known group you can use... WindowsIdentity wi = WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent(); WindowsPrincipal wp = new WindowsPrincipal(wi); wp.IsInRole("Administrator"); //or whatever the role is. Getting a list of Groups a user is a member of is more difficult the last time I needed to do it I used the WinNT ADSI provider with the DirectoryServices classes... ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Shaun Austin: .NET Specialist.

The MS shop site does that! I recently bought MSDN Universal and after handing over credit card details etc was amazed to see that the site was showing "You have no orders"...

On some versions of Outlook (pre XP) you could click on "forward" and the attachments would be there for you to save to disk in the little attachments field... they "Fixed" that on later versions I think... Definitely worth a try! ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Shaun Austin: .NET Specialist.

The way i tend to do it is to get the constructor (usually the parameterless one) and call invoke on it using reflection.. Type t = .... ConstructorInfo constructor = t.GetConstructor(System.Type.EmptyTypes); object newObject = constructor.Invoke(null); ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Shaun Austin: .NET Specialist.

:-DAgree completely... I recently did a bit of "servicing" of some PCs belonging to friends of my wife's. The worse offender was riddled with viruses and enough "free" utilities that the system tray area was almost half way across the screen (Win98)... ...the best bit though was that they had gone for 6 months clicking OK on a message box on bootup and eventually it just became part of the "starting the computer" routine... the message???... "[keyloggername].patch.reg could not be applied to the registry. The file may be corrupted or...." (can't remember exactly but you get the gist???..

For your information I don't have anything on this machine other than VS.NET, Norton AV, ZoneAlarm and office! Certainly not Kazaa. Avenue.A from what I understand is fairly harmless and is an agency used by many large media-type sites (I can't go to a story on the Daily Telegraph's site without the thing popping up.) Maybe you should give people a bit more credit in future before jumping down their throats for making an innocent observation. :| ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Shaun Austin: .NET Specialist.
