    Get Current User Info

    I created a backup project some time ago using VB6.

    As I learn VB.NET I am finding a lot of trouble understanding the code. In my previous project I used the code at http://www.mvps.org/vbnet/ to get the user information from the current user.

    Is there a way to get the user information in VB.NET ... an easy or simple way. I have little to no expereince and I am not sure if I am over stepping my bounds.

    Thanks.
