The following works OK on my Windows 7 machine:

using System;
using System.Security.Principal;

class Test
{
static void Main()
{
var wp = new WindowsPrincipal(WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent());
bool isAdmin = wp.IsInRole(WindowsBuiltInRole.Administrator);
Console.WriteLine(isAdmin);
Console.ReadKey();
}
}
