Question

Can I Login A winform using windows user login information. I need password to login my system but I can't get user's password. Is there any thing like password from windows's user to login.

You might want to try using Ookii's Ookii.Dialogs, which provides a library where you can use a sleek prompt to get the user's password if required for any authentication tasks you wish to process.

Note: after adding a reference to their library, you must include this line along the top lines:

using Ookii.Dialogs;

Here is an example code snippet on how to properly utilize it:

string strUsername = "";
string strPassword = "";

CredentialDialog crDiag = new CredentialDialog();
crDiag.Content = "Your email will be sent using your following credentials.";
crDiag.MainInstruction = "Please enter your email address and password";
crDiag.Target = "MyProgram";

if (crDiag.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
{
    strUsername = crDiag.UserName;
    strPassword = crDiag.Password;
    //Do whatever you want to do here, if they provided a username and password
}

//Do whatever you want to do here, regardless of whether they did provide or didn't

Below is a screenshot of how the dialog will appear when you call ShowDialog():

The username field can accept things other than email addresses as well. It just depends on what you want to do with it.
