Hi Guys,

There is interesting problem down here.
I use this code

If My.User.CurrentPrincipal.IsInRole("Administrators") Then
      MsgBox("Administrator")
    Else
      MsgBox("Not Administrator")
End If

in two different applications with below specs:
1. Windows Form Application with .NET Framework 3.5 (VB.NET)
2. WPF Windows Applciation with .NET Framework 3.5 (VB.NET)

In WinForm app it shows Administrator in Message Box. But, in WPF it shows Not Administrator.
What is reason behind this ? Any idea ?
Thanks,

Regards,

Maybe you are getting the privilege of the programm execution ("run as...") instead of getting the privileges of the user. Can it be?

There is some other difference than this. The display technology used has no effect at all on the code you're posting.
