C#-APP: Getting user's group using Active Directory

[derstuka]

Using 2.0 Framework. I'm new to using System.Director yServices.Activ eDirectory.

My goal is to find out if the user currently logged on belongs to a certain group. I.e., I am logged on as johndoe, this function might return "Marketing"

If someone can point me in the right direction or provide a sample, I would really appreciate it. I've googled and scoured microsoft's site to death but I just can't find what I'm looking for.

How about this blurb from MicroSoft:

"[...] System.Director yServices.Activ eDirectory is not used to access data that resides within Active Directory or any other directory service. The System.Director yServices namespace should be used for this purpose."

In other words: use System.Director yServices to find what you need.

The most useful way I've found of doing this is to use LDAP - check the following thread:
