windows service in VB.NET

[rosetavb]

hi,

I am writing a windows service. I want to have the user name and password of the user account that will have service running in my code. I want to have it as global variable and use it in my code.
any one can give me a clue where in code I can get that?

thanks in advance.
roseta.

I don't know of any way to get the password, what would you need it for?

You can get the username via the Environmental variable:
MsgBox(Environment.UserName)

Or you can get the current Principal and Identity via the GetCurrent method of the WindowsIdentity object:
MsgBox(Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent.Name)
