How to read Active directory userlist using c#
fieldhouse
Hi
did you try stepping through your code with the debugger
If so, at which line do you get your exception
could it be that you have no rights to read the active directory
talha zia
dsearcher.Filter = (
"(objectClass=user)"); foreach (SearchResult sres in dsearcher.FindAll()){
Response.Write(sres.GetDirectoryEntry().Name.ToString()+
"<br>");}
By using this code you get the list of users in the active directory
You have to give the domain name,username and password.
