Active Directory and VB.Net

Hi all,

I'm trying to write an app that will "popup" a nice form when the
user's mail submenu is selected at the AD console so I can add, modify,
delete and check the mail addresses and aliases of that user.

In vbscript, in order to bind to the "selected user" at the AD Users &
Computers console, the Wscript.Arguments is used.

ex. strDN = Wscript.Arguments(0)
Set objUser = GetObject("LDAP://" & strDN)

I've found out how to bind to a specific user (with DirectoryEntry) in
vb.net but can't see how to "catch" the DN of the selected user.

Is there a way to accomplish something similar with vb.net?

Many thx,
Elena
