[02/03] Determining XP Login Credentials within VB

[jeffnyc]

I'm not sure if I can get away with just checking the username - have to ask the client..... But I ended up installing 2005 version anyway =)

MessageBox.Show(My.User.IsInRole(ApplicationServices.BuiltInRole.Administrator.ToString))

is returning False. But when I go to Control Panel, User Accounts, My account type is Computer Administrator - I thought it would show False for Limited or Guest Accounts and True for Computer Administrator ?

Update:t - I change my code to

 If My.User.IsInRole(ApplicationServices.BuiltInRole.Administrator) Then
            Debug.WriteLine("User is an Administrator")
        Else
            Debug.WriteLine("User is not an Administrator")
        End If

and it now says I am an administrator. I must be missing something For some reason, using the "toString" causes it to return a false???
