Total vb Beginner! Help needed with AD!

[Phil]

Hi

I admit it, I am a total vb beginner. I thought I'd get hold of a copy to
see if I could resolve a simple problem we have.

I am looking to search AD for user objects for reporting purposes, and have
read numerous code samples etc on MSDN, and have tried to use these but with
no success.

Every time I try to 'run' my code I get build errors, and I am told that
DirectoryEntry is not defined.

I thought that adding a reference to system.director yservices would resolve
that, but apparently not.

Does anyone know what my problem could be, or better, where to get the
skeleton code for simply starting off a search of AD?

I am using vb .NET Standard Edition 2003.

Many thanks

Phil

Hi Phil,

Please show us the code and indicate where the error occurs.
