"value provided for adsObject does not implement IADs"

[frumpus]

I'm really hoping someone can give me a clue about this problem. thanks for reading.


The following code works great

Dim thisUser As DirectoryEntry
thisUser = New DirectoryEntry("LDAP://wolfgang/CN=JonesDT,OU=users,OU=Students,DC=rockhurst,DC=edu")

However, i need to be able to give it the ldap string in a variable like this.

ADsUserPath = "LDAP://wolfgang/CN=JonesDT,OU=users,OU=Students,DC=rockhurst,DC=edu"

Dim thisUser As DirectoryEntry
thisUser = New DirectoryEntry(ADsUserPath)


Which gives me the following error

"The value provided for adsObject does not implement IADs"

this seems so simple, can anyone tell me what the problem is?

Once again, all it took was for me to give up and post my problem in the forum. Naturally, I managed to solve the problem on my own 10 minutes later.

incidently, the solution was to add the ToString funcion as follows.

thisUser = New DirectoryEntry(ADsUserPath.ToString())
