dumb question?

[Paul]

SystemInformation contains forms-relevant information, but I also see other,
totally unrelated stuff like UserDomainName and UserName. Isn't it rather
poor design to require projects to include a reference to Windows.Forms.dll
just to get this information? Perhaps there is another area I can get login
and domain info without resorting to API calls?

The System.Environment class.

Information about the user can be obtained using the 'Environment' class
too, which is not part of the Windows Forms assembly.

Thank you both. I knew there had to be another place to look!
