I am accessing an LDAP server and I am only getting one property back, the adspath property, when I have requested three other properties (the adspath is added to the property list by default). Not sure what I am doing wrong. Here is a snipit of the code:

public void StartSearch(){
DirectoryEntry entry = new DirectoryEntry("LDAP://ldap.server.name:389/ou=Users, ou=Company Name, o=company, c=us");
DirectorySearcher searcher = new DirectorySearcher(entry);
searcher.SearchScope = SearchScope.Subtree;
searcher.ServerTimeLimit = new TimeSpan(8000);
searcher.PropertyNamesOnly = true;
searcher.PropertiesToLoad.Add("freeFormName");
searcher.PropertiesToLoad.Add("title");
searcher.PropertiesToLoad.Add("personID");
searcher.Filter ="(personID=14143126)";
try{
SearchResultCollection queryResults = searcher.FindAll();
foreach(SearchResult result in queryResults){
ResultPropertyCollection rpc = result.Properties;
foreach(string colName in rpc.PropertyNames){
foreach(object values in rpc[colName]){
Console.WriteLine(values + "\r");
}
}
}
}
catch(Exception e){Console.WriteLine(e.Message + "\r\r" + e.ToString());}
}
I am only getting one values object back, it is the "adspath" that is the path of the LDAP with answers to the ??= as seen in the path. It shows that I have four properties and four PropertiesToLoad.

What have I forgotten to do?

Thank you.

I discovered that the code
searcher.PropertyNamesOnly = true;
needed to be
searcher.PropertyNamesOnly = false;

My next issue is that the LDAP server is sending me a System.NotImplementedException exception with the message of "Handling of this ADSVALUE type is not yet implemented (type = 0xb)."

Anyone seen this before?

I have a question on LDAP.
Here is the scenario: I am logged on to Top domain and the server that the web application is running on in on a SecondLevel domain (subtree).
I access the web application a workstation and the application uses Global Catalog (DirectoryEntry("GC//")) to get my information from Active Directory. I can't seem to get any information back. I get a message that the server is not operational.

Could you shed some light on what is going on?

Thanks

I was getting that message when my path was not set right. It could not find the server. What about authenticating yourself? Have you tried that?

Hope this is helpful.

How do I authenticate myself?
Also....Can I search a different domain from the one I have my account in? if so, How?

Thanks

In this code:

searcher.PropertiesToLoad.Add("freeFormName"); 
searcher.PropertiesToLoad.Add("title"); 
searcher.PropertiesToLoad.Add("personID");

Are you positive that those three values exist in AD? I am not familar with them, though I am also not an AD guru though I have done quite a bit of work with AD, through ADSI.

Also the following line of code..

searcher.PropertyNamesOnly = true

will only return a property if it has a set value in it, this may be why you are only getting ADSPath returned.

: searcher.PropertiesToLoad.Add("title"); 
: searcher.PropertiesToLoad.Add("personID");

These properties are user defined. They are not supported. I have been told that I must go after the native APIs. I am confused as to why and how.
