Greetings all!<br />
<br />
I have been asked to implement authentication (Windows authentication) and authorisation in an existing Windows application (about 15 forms).<br />
<br />
1. &nbsp;How do I verify (Authenticate) the user when the application loads?<br />
2. &nbsp;How do I link roles to the various forms?<br />
3. &nbsp;How do I check if the suer has the role (or will &quot;2&quot; take care of this) ?<br />
4. &nbsp;Is there anything that I have forgotten?<br />
<br />
In advance, thanks!!<br />

3.  How do I check if the suer has the role (or will "2" take care of this) ?
4.  Is there anything that I have forgotten?

Authentication and authorisation in a Windows GUI C# applcation

The .NET Framework is not specific to any one programming language; rather, it includes a library of functions that allows developers to rapidly build applications. Several supported languages include C#, VB.NET, C++ or ASP.NET.

.NET Programming

C# is an object-oriented programming language created in conjunction with Microsoft’s .NET framework. Compilation is usually done into the Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL), which is then JIT-compiled to native code (and cached) during execution in the Common Language Runtime (CLR).
