IsInRole always false

Hello,
username=user.identity.name
trueFalse=User.IsInRole("myDomain\Administrators") ?
First line return user name as administrator but second line returns false? What might be the reason? Or how does isInRole work?
Thanks,
Jim.

re: IsInRole always false

Is username returning a local machine administrator rather than domain
administrator? Since you didn't specify that username is
myDomain\Administrator, it isn't clear. If the user is a domain
administrator, it should work just like you have it.

If you are programming in C#, then I think you need to escape the "\". Try
User.IsInRole("myDomain\\Administrators").

Did you try doubling the "\"?

Sorry, didn't notice you were using VB.NET until after I posted this.
