Active directory

Hi

I'm new to active directory programming. From an asp.net application
that uses AD I got an excepion of type:

System.Runtime. InteropServices *.COMException (0x8000500C): The Active
Directory datatype cannot be converted to/from a native DS datatype
at System.Director yServices.Inter *op.IAds.GetEx( String bstrName)
at
System.Director yServices.Prope *rtyValueCollec tion.PopulateLi s*t()
at
System.Director yServices.Prope *rtyValueCollec tion..ctor(Dire c*toryEntry

entry, String propertyName)
at System.Director yServices.Prope *rtyCollection. get_Item(String
propertyName)
(CODE:"descript ion =
entry.Propertie s["descriptio n"].Value.ToString ();")
The problem is that this exception is thrown only on w2000 platform, on
my machine and on W2003 server, all works fine.
Any Help?

Thanks

My goal, somehow, is to populate a dropdownlist with all the user names in active directory. I don't even know where to begin, really. I added a reference to System.DirectoryServices so I could use the System.DirectoryServices.ActiveDirectory namespace. I don't even know if this is the right way to go as I can't seem to find anything in that namespace that would help me query active directory for names. I can't use an LDAP query...
