  You'd use the name of the method (String) for the particular Active Directory object you have selected. For example, a user object has a "ChangePassword" method. Use InvokeGet/InvokeSet to read/write properties. Property and method names appear to be documented here.
  
  Hope this puts you on the right track, I couldn't try this myself...

  Try:
  obj.Invoke("ChangePassword", "", "NewPassword")
  
  Is this stuff working I couldn't try it out myself...

  the method name is the method in your class you wish to invoke (the delegate method)

  hi all my dear friends:
  i was tired of trying all the ways and see the same exeption .

  please take a look at my code , that i use to add a user to
  active directory :

  
  DirectoryEntry de = new DirectoryEntry("LDAP://192.168.0.1/cn=Users,dc=soheila,dc=org", "Administrator@soheila.org", "sohama3t", AuthenticationTypes.ServerBind);
  DirectoryEntry de2 = new DirectoryEntry("LDAP://192.168.0.1/cn=Administrator,cn=Users,dc=soheila,dc=org", "Administrator@soheila.org", "sohama3t", AuthenticationTypes.ServerBind);
  DirectoryEntries des = de.Children;
  DirectoryEntry newChild = des.Add("cn=masoud", de2.SchemaClassName);
  newChild.CommitChanges();
  de.CommitChanges();
  de.Close();
  de2.Close();
  newChild.Close();
  DirectoryEntry de3 = new DirectoryEntry("LDAP://192.168.0.1/cn=masoud,cn=Users,dc=soheila,dc=org","Administrator@soheila.org","sohama3t",AuthenticationTypes.ServerBind);
  string ch = "hello hi";
  char[] ch2 = new char[10];
  ch2 = ch.ToCharArray();
  de3.Password = new String(ch2);
  de3.Username = new String("misi@soheila.org".ToCharArray());
  de3.CommitChanges();
  de3.close();

  
  and it works without a problem
  but a problem is that the user is Unable at the first
  and manually i can enable that my first question is that
  " How can i enable this user programmatically "
  
  and then i use this piece of code to replace the password
  but at the specified line it throw an exeption and i don't konw why..........

  
  DirectoryEntry de = new DirectoryEntry("LDAP://192.168.0.1/cn=masoud,cn=Users,dc=soheila,dc=org","Administrator@soheila.org","sohama3t",AuthenticationTypes.ServerBind);
  de.Invoke("ChangePassword","hello hi","second pass");
  ************> de.CommitChanges();
  de.Close();
  
  my second question is why it throw an exeption
  and my third question is "is it necessary to use the DirectoryEntry.invoke methode i think that it is a useless method because i can set and get the password and username and the other property by using their own properties
  what is it's real use "
  

  thanks for all of your answers my best frinds..........bye

  yes Nobugz I was thinking about that but more specifically invoking a method. :-) Thanks for clearing that up!
  
  

• blobz

  Forget about delegates, Ahmedilyas thought you were talking about Control.Invoke(). Judging from your post, you're talking about DirectoryEntry.Invoke(), an entirely different method. To change the password for a user, you would call:
  obj.Invoke("ChangePassword", "OldPassword", "NewPassword")
  where 'obj' references a node in the Active Directory tree that you got from enumerating a DirectoryEntries object.
  
  
  

• Grumpy McNasty

  hi again

  you say that i should use this method but there is a problem :

  obj.Invoke("ChangePassword", "OldPassword", "NewPassword")
  you know when at the first time i create a user it doesn't have any password what should i do for the second argument

  thanks ..........................

  bye
