Have you included a reference to it in the project?
Right click in the Project installer and add a new reference.
Then look for DirectoryServices in the list that comes up.

That will let you use it.

Yes, that should work.  However my visual studio.net IDE does not seem to be
behaving.  When I use "using System.DirectoryServices"  it has no idea what
that is.  It just keeps asking if I am  missing an assembly. How does one
install a library, or is this some other anomaly.

Thanks

I do some interacting with an Active Directory in C#.

However I do not query the server.
I interface to it as an LDAP server and then retrieve a list of all the
users in on the server.

DNC = server IP

Although this says WinNT it is still able to access the AD.

		DirectoryEntry de = new DirectoryEntry();
///Create a directory entry
		de.Path = "WinNT://" + DNC;
///Point the directory entry at the WinNT Domain
		de.Children.SchemaFilter.Add("user");
///Filter out the users
		DirectoryEntry deg = new DirectoryEntry();
///Create a directory entry

That might give you something to look at

from username with c#


Hello,

   I got quite the issue here.  With ASP 3.0 I had a web application that 
would use windows authentication. Normally the code would contain error 
checking to make sure that sFullUser is not " ", but for the purpose it 
suits, it doesn't really need it. This information was then split into 
parts using the InStr command and sent to Active Directory to get a 
friendly or given name to put on the forms.  I am trying to rewrite this 
with ASP.Net with c# and am quite frustrated.  

ASP code (removing html code and forms, just want to focus on code itself)

<%@ Language=VBScript %>
 
<%
sFullName = trim(Request.ServerVariables ("LOGON_USER"))

iPosition = InStr(sFullName, "\")
sUserDomain = Left(sFullName, iPosition - 1)
sUser = Mid(sFullName, iPosition + 1)

Set objUser = GetObject("WinNT://" & sDomain & "/" & sUser)

Response.Write objUser.FullName

%>

Using the c# command split, I can accomplish pretty mush the same thing, 
but I have no idea of how to get it to talk to Active Directory to resolve 
the name. I didn't see any posts on this and am wondering if anyone is 
trying to do this.

Thanks
