Get user names

[Nurchi BECHED]

Hello, my dearest respected brother, All!

I had this question:
How can i obtain list of users registered in the system
and current username and usergroup?

I'm running Windows XP Pro and have the following users registered in the
system:
Gus: Administrators
Nurchi: Administrators
Patimat: Users
(Administrator: Administrators)
And bunch of others created by IIS of MsVS .NET setup...

I'm trying to create a Windows Service that would block internet access to
certain users or groups by schedule, but that would be next part of the
problem.

Right now, my question is:
Does C# (actually .NET Framework) have built in
functions to get list of users and groups and current user
or would I have to [DllImport("something.dll")] to do that?

With best regards, Nurchi BECHED.

Hi Nurchi,

you can use System.DirectoryServices namespace for a interaction with the
both local and Domain objects.

A quick example on what you're looking for is available at

Cheers,

System.DirectoryServices provides a number of classes for managed access into
Active Directory. There are a few sample and quick starts @ MSDN as well.
