Authorizing users based on User Groups

Hi there

I want the authorize users to use a normal Windows32 application based on there User Group. Ex only people in the
"Technical Sales" department are allowed to use the program.

The User Group information must be gathered from the
Domain Controller.
I would appreciate some help in this matter.

Thanx in advance

Something like this should work:

VB Code:

'get current user's principal
        Dim usr As New Security.Principal.WindowsPrincipal(Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent)
        If Not usr.IsInRole("Technical Sales") Then
            'close program
            Me.Close()
        End If

The group may have to have the domain in it also (i.e. "MHC\Technical Sales") but I don't think so.
