Active Directory - System.DirectoryServices

[Amadelle]

Hi all,
I am trying to connect to Active Directory through .NET DirectoryServices.
After spending couple of hours trying I still run into an error saying "An
operations error occurred". Which doesn't tell me much. So I was wondering
whether anyone would be able to tell me what am I doing wrong.

changing the names but keeping the patterns lets say that
I have a domain controller called "myDC". The full DNS of which is
"myDC.corp.domainName.com"

so now I am setting up the path for the LDAP as follows:

DirectoryEntry ent = new DirectoryEntry("LDAP://myDC/CN=Users, DC=corp,
DC=domainName, DC=com");

I have also tried the following variations on the path string:
LDAP://myDC.corp.domainName.com/CN=Users, DC=corp, DC=domainName, DC=com

LDAP://myDC.corp.domainName.com/CN=Users, DC=myDC,DC=corp, DC=domainName,
DC=com

and any other combination that came to my mind. This call does not throw
the error. But the call ent.Name and ent.Children for example both throw
errors but for example ent.Path returns the path that I have setup
successfully. I am not so sure at this stage am I managing to at least
connect to the LDAP server or not? If I am not what I am doing wrong? What
path should I provide (what is the correct format)? If I am connecting to
the server then what I am doing wrong again that the calls mentioned throw
errors?

Thanks in advance for your help,

Amadelle
