Display local user full name in VB 2010 Express

Public Class Form1


Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

    Label1.Text = System.Windows.Forms.SystemInformation.ComputerName
    Label2.Text = System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement
    Label3.Text = System.Windows.Forms.SystemInformation.UserName

End Sub

End Class

As shown above is the code that is currently working. I'm trying to display three things, Computer name, local user's full name and the user's username. I've got the former and latter working but not the full name. I cannot use AD.

Any help would be massively appreciated once again! Many thanks

I'm sure if by "I cannot use AD" you mean that you just cannot use an LDAP query. That being the case you could try

Public Class Form1


    Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

       Label1.Text = System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement.UserPrincipal.Current.DisplayName

    End Sub

End Class

Keep in mind that you will need to add a reference in your project to System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagment
