    how to get a members groups using the api

    Hi

    I'm trying to check a member to see if he's in a particular group using the api.

    I've got a member, and the group I'm testing for is called "mygroup".

    Response.Write(member.Groups.ContainsValue("mygroup").ToString());   returns false.

    I've also tried getting the id number of the group and passing that

    int intMyGroupID = MemberGroup.GetByName("mygroup").Id;

    Response.Write(member.Groups.ContainsValue(intMyGroupID).ToString());

    but I'm still getting nothing.

    I've checked and my member is definately a member of the group.

    What am I doing wrong?

    Many thanks

    Shaun

    sussed it. I was using the hashtable the wrong way

         int intmygroup = MemberGroup.GetByName("mygroup").Id;           
     bool ingroup = member.Groups.ContainsKey(intmygroup);

    You could also use the in built .NET Roles provider

    Roles.IsUserInRole(member.LoginName, "mygroup")
