SharePoint 2010: Adding a User to a Group from code

I am trying to add a user to an existing group from a custom login page. Right now, I have no problem getting the current user from SPWeb.CurrentUser. I can view all of this current users groups, but now I am having a problem adding this user to an existing group. I think I need to use SPRoleDefinition and SPRoleAssignment, but all I can find is how to change the permissions on a group using these classes. Does anyone know how I can add this user to a group by the groupname?

Thanks!

You can utilize this function to add user to the current site. You need to pass Group name and UserName. 

public void AddUsers(string groupname, string username)
{
   try
   {
         SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges(delegate()
         {
               // Gets a new security context using SHAREPOINT\system
               using (SPSite site = new SPSite(SPContext.Current.Site.Url))
               {
                     using (SPWeb thisWeb = site.OpenWeb())
                     {
                          thisWeb.AllowUnsafeUpdates = true;
                          SPUser Name = thisWeb.EnsureUser(username);
                          thisWeb.Groups[groupname].AddUser(Name);
                          thisWeb.AllowUnsafeUpdates = false;
                     }
                }
   });

  }

  catch (Exception ex)
   {
       //Log error here.
   }
}

If you're trying to add a user to a group, this should work:

SPUser currentUser = SPContext.Current.Web.CurrentUser;
SPGroup group = SPContext.Current.Web.SiteGroups["My Group Name"];
group.AddUser(currentUser);
