Hi,

Does anyone know how call Win32 native API GetTokenInformation() by using
C#? Any sample code would be helpful. Thanks!

Vincent,

What kind of information are you going to retrieve with it, i.e which
TOKEN_INFORMATION_CLASS value are you going to pass in?

I want to retrieve the access tokens for a user, and I want to pass in the
TOKEN_GROUPS. Thanks for the reply!

Vincent,
I don't know much about VB.NET. Do you have any C# sample code for this?


I don't, but try something like this (using most of the defs from
Willy's post):
int cb = 0;
// First call to get buffer size needed
GetTokenInformation( token, TOKEN_INFORMATION_CLASS.TokenGroups,
IntPtr.Zero, 0, ref cb );
IntPtr tg = Marshal.AllocHGlobal( cb );
// Second call to actually retrieve data
GetTokenInformation( token, TOKEN_INFORMATION_CLASS.TokenGroups, tg,
cb, ref cb );
// Read TOKEN_GROUPS.GroupCount
int groupCount = Marshal.ReadInt32( tg );
// Read each SID_AND_ATTRIBUTES from TOKEN_GROUPS.Groups
int pSaa = (int)tg + 4;
for ( int i = 0; i < groupCount; i++ ) {
_SID_AND_ATTRIBUTES saa = (_SID_AND_ATTRIBUTES)
Marshal.PtrToStructure((IntPtr)pSaa, typeof(_SID_AND_ATTRIBUTES));
// do stuff with _SID_AND_ATTRIBUTES here
pSaa += Marshal.SizeOf( typeof(_SID_AND_ATTRIBUTES) );
}
....
Marshal.FreeHGlobal( tg );
