Hi;

There is an article at http://www.codeproject.com/csharp/getusersid.asp that
provides code to return the SID of the current user. Is this the best way to
do this?

Hi

Yes, in managed code, we use the DirectoryServices to get the User SID.
Or we have to use the unmanaged API via P/Invoke.
You may take a look at the link below.
