  Unable to cast object of type 'System.Security.Principal.GenericIdentity' to type 'System.Securit...

  I took an old (MDE 2003 Ver 7.1, Framework 1.1) . net project and loaded it into Visual Studio 2010 Premium. When I try to open "View in Browser" I receive the error message in the subject line. Is the issue with System.Security.Principal..........., used in this context?

  Sub

  ControlAccess()

  Dim impersonationContext As System.Security.Principal.WindowsImpersonationContext

  Dim currentWindowsIdentity As System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentitycurrentWindowsIdentity =

  CType(User.Identity, System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity

  )

  impersonationContext = currentWindowsIdentity.Impersonate()lblWelcome.Text = UCase(Convert.ToString(currentWindowsIdentity.Name()))

  Select Case UCase(Convert.ToString(currentWindowsIdentity.Name()))

  Case Is = "ACCESS\XXXX" HyperLink1.Visible =

  True

  Case Else

  HyperLink1.Visible =False

  End

  Select
