getting user data from Active Directory

[Dinçer]

Hi,

I am trying to get user data (email data actually) from Active Directory.
What I exactly want to do is, getting the email address according to
username from the domain.
For example, when I enter my username DINCERM, it should give me
dincerm@domain. com as result.

When I do this:
===
DirectoryEntry entry = new DirectoryEntry( LDAP://DENIZ);

DirectorySearch er searcher = new DirectorySearch er(entry);

searcher.Filter = " (&(objectClass= user)(objectCat egory=person)(m ail=*))";

===

Then I can get all users with an email address available. But how will I be
able to filter it according to the username?

Thank you..

Probably you have there a better change on an answer.

See if the following works for you:

Public Function GetUserInfo(ByV al UserID As String)

Dim RootDSE As New DirectoryServic es.DirectoryEnt ry("LDAP://RootDSE")
Dim DomainDN As String = RootDSE.Propert ies("DefaultNam ingContext").Va lue
Dim ADEntry As New DirectoryServic es.DirectoryEnt ry("LDAP://" & DomainDN)
Dim ADSearch As New System.Director yServices.Direc torySearcher(AD Entry)

Dim ADSearchResult As System.Director yServices.Searc hResult
ADSearch.Filter = ("(samAccountNa me=" & UserID & ")")
ADSearch.Search Scope = SearchScope.Sub tree
Dim UserFound As SearchResult = ADSearch.FindOn e()
If Not IsNothing(UserF ound) Then
Console.WriteLi ne(UserFound.Ge tDirectoryEntry ().Properties.I tem("mail").Val ue)
End If

End Function

You'll need to add (samACcountName =DINCERM) to your filter, and also,
you'll need to specify which attributes you want to retrieve:

DirectorySearch er searcher = new DirectorySearch er("LDAP://DENIZ");

searcher.Filter = "
(&(objectClass= user)(objectCat egory=person)(s amAccountName=D INCERM))";

// add the mail property to the list of props to retrieve
// you can add any others you might be interested in, too!
searcher.Proper tiesToLoad.Add( "mail");

DirectoryEntry deUser = searcher.FindOn e();
if(deUser != null)
{
Console.WriteLi ne("Your e-mail is: " +
deUser.Properti es["mail"].Value.ToString ();
}
