    Querying Active Directory

    I'm creating an Infopath form and I need to query Active Directory to obtain
    some data. Here is the code I'm using (obtained from sample code from MSDN)

    Private Shared domainADsPath As String = "LDAP://xxx.com"
    Private Shared username As String = "gary"
    Private Shared password As String = "password"
    Private Shared schemaClassName ToSearch As String = "user"

    Sub Lookup
    Dim strUserName as String
    Dim searcher As New DirectorySearch er()

    searcher.Search Root = New DirectoryEntry( domainADsPath, username,
    Password)
    searcher.Filter = "(objectCla ss=" + schemaClassName ToSearch + ")"
    searcher.Search Scope = SearchScope.Sub tree
    searcher.Sort = New SortOption("nam e", SortDirection.A scending)
    searcher.Proper tiesToLoad.AddR ange(New String() {"displayNam e", "name"})

    Dim result As SearchResult
    result = searcher.FindOn e()

    If Not (result Is Nothing) Then
    Dim myResultPropCol l As ResultPropertyC ollection
    Dim myResultPropVal Coll As ResultPropertyV alueCollection
    myResultPropCol l = result.Properti es
    myResultPropVal Coll = myResultPropCol l.Item("name")
    strUserName = myResultPropVal Coll.Item(0).To String()
    thisXDocument.D OM.selectSingle Node("//my:Name").text = strUserName
    Else
    thisXDocument.D OM.selectSingle Node("//my:Name").text = "Not Found"
    End If

    What displays on the form is the object name
    (ie. System.Director yServices.Resul tPropertyValueC ollection), not the value
    of the property. All of the classes return an object and not a string. How do
    I return the actual value of the property?

    Thanks for the help!
