Pretty easy in VS2005
If My.User.IsInRole("Group Name") Then
Return True
Else
Return False
End If
VS2003 takes a little more work. Post again if you need an example for the older version.
Hi thanks a lot for your reply.....it works for group
but i need validate along with Domain and user name as well
eg..
if Domain="mydomain" and groupname= "mygroupname" and username="myuser" then
return true
else
return false
end if
how to do that VS2005?
Thanks in advance
Sorry, didn't read you close enough... That's getting pretty complex and I think you'll need to use LDAP queries to get your answer.
You can add a reference to System.DirectoryServices to get some objects that facilitate Active Directory lookups.
Keep in mind that a lot of this will depend on the security level of the user running the application... Cross domain lookups will need to be configured and allowed in AD as well.
this following statement works for me..
i dont know whether it is correct approach
This statement validates my domain,group and user
If System.Environment.UserDomainName = "DomainName" And My.User.IsInRole("GroupName") Then
MsgBox(
"True")ElseMsgBox(
"false")End IfYeah, that works for the current user. I just noticed that your desired function contains the user and domain as parameters so I wasn't sure if you wanted to check for users or domains other than the current.
If all you need to check are the current logged on user in their current domain then you've got your answer! If you want to check any user in any domain that you've got permission to query than you'll need to use LDAP.
Good Luck
