Display Active Directory Users in a ListBox

I haven't found exactly what I've been trying to do.

All I am trying to do for now is just display usernames from Active
Directory into a ListBox control on a page. I have found some code
however that will just capture a Full Name from Text Box and display
information from the Active Directory into a DataTable. I will display

that code below.
How can I change this code to make it display on the Page Load all
users into a ListBox control?
Here is what I have right now that I was to change to make it work in a

listbox and not rely on the entry from the textbox...

No this code works just want to show all the AD users in a listbox
instead of the datatable shown above.
