[Original message clipped] It is not all that clear what you want to do. Which thread are you talking about? Both dialects of C++ (managed and unmanaged) have no trouble calling functions of the Win32 API. In particular, calling GetUserName() and LookupAccountName() might take you where you want to go. Regards, Will Reply to this message...        hazz Thank you for responding Will. Sorry for not offering more detail. I have the following .NET C# code using .NET System.Security.Principal; m_iIdnt = new System.Security.Principal.GenericIdentity(t.UserName,"custom authentication"); m_iPrincipal = new System.Security.Principal.GenericPrincipal(m_iIdnt,roles); System.Threading.Thread.CurrentPrincipal=m_iPrincipal; What I would like to do is access the Identity from what happened above, but from a C++ app rather than the following .NET app; IPrincipal currentPrincipal = Thread.CurrentPrincipal; IIdentity currentIdentity = currentPrincipal.Identity; string authtype = currentIdentity.AuthenticationType; if (currentIdentity.IsAuthenticated) ......... thank you, Greg "William DePalo [MVP VC++]" <Click here to reveal e-mail address> wrote in message news:Click here to reveal e-mail address...

But is there an interop possibility? "Willy Denoyette [MVP]" <Click here to reveal e-mail address> wrote in message news:Click here to reveal e-mail address... [Original message clipped] Reply to this message...        Willy Denoyette [MVP] (VIP) Sure, you can expose your C# class as COM object and use COM interop, question is why would you do that when simply calling the Win32 API's gives you the same information.

[Original message clipped] Reply to this message...        hazz Thanks Willy for helping me out here. One more outrageous question. Can I access the .NET runtime thread using Win32 API's. (which contains the Principal and Identity that I want) thx. -greg the newbie "Willy Denoyette [MVP]" <Click here to reveal e-mail address> wrote in message news:Click here to reveal e-mail address...

[Original message clipped] <note> I am not passing on your design strategy, simply answering the question that you asked. </note> You can mix unmanaged C++ and Managed Extensions fro C++ (soon to be called C++/CLI) in the same module. So one option is to have functions free functions in an unmanaged module call on member functions in an MC++ class which call on the requisite functions in your C# class. This works best when you think in terms of interfaces. Don't think of sharing managed types with unmanaged code. Regards, Will Reply to this message...        hazz The light bulb is beginning to flicker. .... and I acknowledge there are larger design issues here, even if I don't understand them yet. I am still looking for keywords and keynote concepts in the answers to my questions. I realize I am not asking the right questions yet. Is CLI common language interface? Thanks Will.
