Reading Active Directory for user names

[Bruce1965]

I am writing a .net application that, as part of the process, will read the Active Directory and return all domain usernames into a combobox.

Question: Can someone give me some sample code to do this (or indeed point me to somewhere that can)?????

This is a function I use to get a user's full name from Active Directory, it may give you an idea of where to start looking.

    Public Shared Function UserNameLong(ByVal UserID As String)
      Dim FullName As String
      Try
        Dim ADEntry As New System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry("WinNT://DomainName/" & UserID.Trim)
        FullName = ADEntry.Properties("FullName").Value
      Catch exc As Exception
        FullName = ""
      End Try
      Return FullName
    End Function

Thanks, Rick

I got it working, although I didn't use your code line for line. However, the line

FullName = ADEntry.Properties("FullName").Value

was spot on.
