Get the domain name

[Bruno]

Hello friends

I need to create a simple application that returns the domain name where the
user name logs in. For example, if I acccess in a computer with the domain
user Contoso\bruno, my application should return the value "CONTOSO".
Basically, my application when executed in a pc that belongs to a domain,
must return the CONTOSO.COM (domain name). All this in Visual Basic.net.

Thank you for help

Bruno, this works fine for me

' Only works on NT or higher - not Win98,ME
If System.Environment.OSVersion.Platform = PlatformID.Win32NT Then
Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(System.Environment.Use rDomainName())
End If

Dunno about the FQD name though

Bye,
Marius.
