To check if current logged in user is member of current site. We could loop through groups available for the current site and check if user is member of the group.
SPWeb object defines a method SPWeb.IsCurrentUserMemberOfGroup(int groupid). This method takes the credentials of logged in user and Group ID as parameter.
Group id can be obtained from SPGroup object. SPWeb object also has one property SPWeb.Groups. Simply loop through this collection and check if logged in user is member of this group.
Following code snippet checks if user is member of group (except visitor group).
SPWeb web = SPContext.Current.Web;
bool isMember = false;
foreach (SPGroup group in web.Groups)
{
//If it is visitors group, do not check user membership
if(group != web.AssociatedVisitorGroup)
isMember = web.IsCurrentUserMemberOfGroup(group.ID);
//Check if user is member of this site.
if (isMember==true)
break;
}
if (isMember)
{
// other task to do if user is member
}
