getting user details from AD via c#

[davetherave2]

Hi I am currently working on a little project at work to try and make adding users to one of our custom apps a little easier plus it will help me in my early development career. Now I have a solution at the moment but it is a little clunky for my liking and uses much of the same info from our Active Directory. So rather than retyping the details in is there a way that I can access and import this info straight into the program.

ultimately this data goes into an sql server.

if you can just point me in the right direction I can then start to code a solution.

thanks in advance.

You need to read into the System.DirectoryServices class library - do a google and there should be a few results.

yeah well I have had a look and found some examples so I will have a play and if i get stuck I will ask some more questions.

cheers for the reply anyway
