WindowsIdentity^ windowsIdentity = WindowsIdentity::GetCurrent();

// Construct a GenericIdentity object based on the current Windows
// identity name and authentication type.
String^ authenticationType = windowsIdentity->AuthenticationType;
String^ userName = windowsIdentity->Name;
GenericIdentity^ authenticatedGenericIdentity = gcnew GenericIdentity( userName,authenticationType );
WindowsIdentity windowsIdentity = WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent();

// Construct a GenericIdentity object based on the current Windows
// identity name and authentication type.
string authenticationType = windowsIdentity.AuthenticationType;
string userName = windowsIdentity.Name;
GenericIdentity authenticatedGenericIdentity =
    new GenericIdentity(userName, authenticationType);
Dim windowsIdentity As WindowsIdentity = windowsIdentity.GetCurrent()

' Construct a GenericIdentity object based on the current Windows
' identity name and authentication type.
