active directory exeption :"Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation."

i see in any active directory code the use of invoke methoe such as below:

DirectoryEntry de = new DirectoryEntry("LDAP://192.168.0.1/cn=Users,dc=soheila,dc=org");

DirectoryEntry de1 = de.Children.Add("cn=newUser1", "user");

de1.Invoke("SetPassword", new object[] { "newUser1" });

de1.Invoke("ChangePassword","newUser1","newUser2");

de1.Invoke("Put", new object[] { "Description", "my first entry" });

de1.CommitChanges();

DirectoryEntry de3 = de.Children.Find("cn=group1", "group");

if (de3.Name != "")

de3.Invoke("Add", new object[] { de1.Path.ToString() });

but i can't use none of the invoke methode and each time i use such methode it throw an exeption

that says:"Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation."

i read an aritcle about this method that says:"Once we have the ADSI object we can call the SetPassword method using the Invoke method of the DirectoryEntry object. This will execute the SetPassword on the ADSI user COM object wrapped by the DirectoryEntry."

but i can't understand the specified line and i guess that i didn't use a thing such as a refrence or some thing such that but i don't know what.......may you please help me

thanks

Any resolution to this problem I am getting the same error. This is the line i get the error on where my password meets all policy requirements.

User.Invoke("SetPassword", New Object() {Password})

The TargetInvocationException that you got has a property called InnerException.

Can you print out this InnerException to know more about what went wrong
