Traversing Objects in Active Directory

The following example demonstrates how to access child objects of an Active Directory object. This is useful in situations where you have a parent organizational unit (OU) and you wish to iterate through the members of the OU.

Code Example: Traversing Objects in Active Directory

using System;
using System.DirectoryServices;

namespace Chapter12
{
          public class DirectoryBinding
          {
                  public DirectoryBinding()
                  {
                         DirectoryEntry MyDirectoryObject = new DirectoryEntry();

                         MyDirectoryObject.Path = "LDAP://HMSRevenge/rootDSE";
                         MyDirectoryObject.Username = @"redmond\gregmcb";
                         MyDirectoryObject.Password = @"MyPassword";
                         //Gets the child objects and returns
                         //them into a collection

                         DirectoryEntries MyChildObjects =
                              MyDirectoryObject.Children;
                  }
          }
}
