How can I retrieve all the roles (groups) a user is a member of?

Question

Is there a way to get a list of roles a Windows authenticated user is in, without explicitly checking by WindowsPrincipal.IsInRole method?

EDIT: Josh beat me to it! :)

Try this

using System;
using System.Security.Principal;

namespace ConsoleApplication5
{
    internal class Program
    {
        private static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            var identity = WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent();

            foreach (var groupId in identity.Groups)
            {
                var group = groupId.Translate(typeof (NTAccount));
                Console.WriteLine(group);
            }
        }
    }
}
