How do I search an user into the active directory from a vb.Net application?

Thanks for all.

I found following code, but haven't tested it yet. But it's surely
with System.DirectoryServices.

Public Function GetUserInfo(ByVal inSAM As String, ByVal inType As
String) As String
  Try



     Dim sPath As String =
"LDAP://yourdomainpath.com/DC=yourdomainpath,DC=com"
     Dim SamAccount As String = Right(inSAM, Len(inSAM) - InStr(inSAM,
"\"))
     Dim myDirectory As New DirectoryEntry(sPath, "Enterprise Admin",
"Password") 'pass the user account and password for your Enterprise
admin.
     Dim mySearcher As New DirectorySearcher(myDirectory)
     Dim mySearchResultColl As SearchResultCollection
     Dim mySearchResult As SearchResult
     Dim myResultPropColl As ResultPropertyCollection
     Dim myResultPropValueColl As ResultPropertyValueCollection 
'Build LDAP query
     mySearcher.Filter = ("(&(objectClass=user)(samaccountname=" &
SamAccount & "))")
    mySearchResultColl = mySearcher.FindAll()
'I expect only one user from search result
     Select Case mySearchResultColl.Count
          Case 0
             Return "Null"
             Exit Function
          Case Is > 1
            Return "Null"
            Exit Function
    End Select



   'Get the search result from the collection
    mySearchResult = mySearchResultColl.Item(0) 



    'Get the Properites, they contain the usefull info
    myResultPropColl = mySearchResult.Properties



    'displayname, mail
    'Retrieve from the properties collection the display name and
email of the user
     myResultPropValueColl = myResultPropColl.Item(inType)
    Return CStr(myResultPropValueColl.Item(0))



  Catch ex As System.Exception



    'do some error return here.
  End Try
End Function


Succes
