A.D. directorysearcher request

I need to get a directoryentry associated to a samaccountname.

It works in most cases, except when there are special characters in the samaccountname.

In the present case, a user has a '(' char in its samaccoutname so i escaped this char to test, but even if I don't have anymore a syntax error, the findone method return null so I wonder whats wrong.

anyway,
- does anybody know another way to do it?
- Is there is a method in .net to get from a standard string another string with good formatting to insert in an ldap request?
