Get Domain User's Full Name

[Zenerdiode]

I have found the following code to get a domain user's full name (rather than just their logon user name).

Can this be done with the Door library? If so, would someone translate it for me, please?

Function GetUserName() As String
   Dim DomainUser As String = System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent.Name.Replace("\", "/")
   Dim ADEntry As New System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry("WinNT://" & DomainUser)
   Return ADEntry.Properties("FullName").Value
End Function

I don't thing that it's possible with Door library...
I can do this in c# and if it work I send you the DLL Lib with the Code Source...
Note:
It's just for Desktop and not for PPC...

Sorry, I can't do it... I didn't find any information about Full Name...
I can just get the UserName but not the FullName... Where do you set the FullName on Windows?

Where do you set the FullName on Windows?

I'm not sure if available for local accounts as well; but when you log on to a Windows Domain on a corporate network, your username has a FullName and Description associated with it.

For example, I may log on with a username of zdiode01 and my full name will be Zener Diode.
