Wroking with Active directory

Hello,
I'm working with active directory and I've used:
directorysearcher search =new...;
search.propertiesToLoad.Add("cn");

That give me the user name. now if I'm also getting the "memberof"
property I'm getting alot of groups for the user.

Is there a built in function that tell me if the user is in a specific
group instead of writing my own function that will run on all the
groups that the user is a member of them and compere?

some thing like:
bool x=isCurrentUserMemberof("myGroupName");

Hope i was clear enough.
Thanks.

No there's no such function - you will have to grab the list of groups
a user is member of, and do the comparison yourself.
