in addition to what Tom said, with IsInRole , you must know the group name,
as there's no mechanism to retrieve all the group to which a user belongs.
you can use reflection to retrieve the list of all the groups a user belongs
to, but it should not be used in production app since it require elevated
previleges (bcoz of Reflection). Anyway it's a cool way to retrieve the
exact name of all the groups...
----- C# code ----
System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity WI =
System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent();
System.Security.Principal.WindowsPrincipal WP = new
System.Security.Principal.WindowsPrincipal(WI);
Type TT = WP.GetType();
FieldInfo PI = TT.GetField( "m_roles",BindingFlags.NonPublic |
BindingFlags.Instance );
string[] ROLES = (string[])PI.GetValue(WP);
string AllRoles="";
foreach (string Role in ROLES)
{
AllRoles +=Role + "\n";
}
MessageBox.Show( AllRoles);

hope it helps
