Unable To Access "System.DirectoryServices" From Any Namespace But Presentation Layer
Dec 1, 2009I am accessing active directory with the System.DirectoryServices library, currently in my web layer. However, I'm trying to move a function from a code-behind file to a VB class in another namespace, and I cannot seem to access that class from within that namespace.
View 1 RepliesImport System.ServiceProcess Namespace Into WPF Project Not Showing In CodeSense?
Mar 4, 2009how can I import the System.ServiceProcess namespace into a WPF project in VB.net (not C#)? The ServiceController object is not in the toolbox in VS2008 and can't see to figure it out. Any ideas? If that particular namespace cannot be imported into WPF projects, could somebody suggest another way of controlling windows services from a WPF application? I know this framework is focused more on multimedia apps, but would really like to switch over some of my tools to WPF.

Jun 29, 2010I am connecting to a Microsoft Active Directory server in a DMZ from my .net application (asp.net VB .net 4.0). I need to create a new "inetorgperson" in an orgunit called "SingleCustomerAccount".
I have had to use the System.DirectoryServices.Protocols namespace for all the work, because the ADSI classes (System.DirectoryServices namespace) wouldn't work across the DMZ properly.
Anyway it's been working fine connecting to Active Directory on Windows Server 2003 R2; however we're running tests against Active Directory on Windows Server 2008 R2 (2008r2 in native mode for forest and domain) in order to upgrade.
My existing code to create a user does not work.

Can't Add Reference System.directoryservices
May 21, 2012I'm upgrading my site and pasted some code into a new form in VS 2011 Express beta. I get the standard error below: Namespace or type specified in the Imports 'System.DirectoryServices' doesn't contain any public member or cannot be found. Make sure the namespace or the type is defined and contains at least one public member. Make sure the imported element name doesn't use any aliases.
I went ahead and added a reference for system.directoryservices. Still, the errors remain. I go back to references to make sure it's been added, and it is no longer checked. Repeated tries and the same results.
System.directoryservices And ActiveDirectorySecurity?
May 8, 2009I've read through what little I could find on system.directoryservices and setting object permissions in AD.What I need to do is grab a DE, read its security descriptor and add / modify it. I need to add permission to another user.
I know how to use the CACLS command for the file system and the concept is basically the same but I dont see any VB (or any ) examples out there that could show me how to grab a distribution list AD object and modify the descriptor so the user has permissions to update the DL (without actually being the owner).
C# - Add A User To AD Using System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement?
May 26, 2009Using the .net 3.5 framework and C# I'm trying to add a new user to AD from C# and can't find any examples. I see that the PrincipalCollection object has an overloaded 'add' method but can't seem to figure out how it works. Can anyone help?
How create a new user object, add it into AD. Secondly, the user that will be adding in new people may not actually have the security to do this. Is there a way that I can impersonate another user account that will have permissions and add the account that way?

View 1 RepliesGet User By Distinguished Name Using System.DirectoryServices.Protocols
May 7, 2012I have a pretty extensive application that has been built to provide SSO to several web applications via OID. The problem is that we have seen some users getting "orphaned" on a role for one of the applications. I have written a method that returns the distinguished name for all of the users with access to that role. To perform the cleanup, I am trying to make sure that the users returned in the previous step actually exist in OID. I have been using the System.DirectoryServices.Protocols.SearchRequest class when searching for users or roles, but it is not working for a distinguished name. Below is my method. It has been changed a couple of times to try different ways to make it work.

System Namespace Conflict With Sibling Namespace
Nov 16, 2011This class is located in the namespace Acme.Infrastructure.Interface.A class with the same name EventArgs exists in the System namespace.In another project in my solution I have a class Acme.BusinessModules.MyModule.MyClass.When attempting to use the EventArgs class I have to fully qualify the class name or the compiler thinks I am using the System.EventArgs class.My understanding of namespace resolution was that the compiler would first look for the class in the current namespace, and then its parents. It seems that the compiler checks in System before it checks in sibling namespaces. Is it correct that System is checked before the sibling? Or is this behaviour caused by other issues (Imports order?)?
View 1 RepliesC# - Check If A User Is Already Logged Into Domain With System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagemen?
Nov 9, 2010I have computers joined to a domain. I'm writing a desktop application that ask for a username and password to authenticate user against Active Directory.Sometimes, user uses this application on the computer that is not joined to the domain.I'm using .NET 3.5, System.DirectoryServices, and System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement. Code sample how to authenticate users:
Private Function ValidateExternalUser(ByVal username As String, ByVal password As String) As Boolean
Using context As PrincipalContext = New PrincipalContext(ContextType.Domain, "your_domain_here")
Return context.ValidateCredentials(username, password, ContextOptions.Negotiate)

I want to know how to check if user is already logged in on domain computer, then I don't have to ask them log into the application again.
Update:If it can't be done with System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagemen, is there any way to do it?
System.DirectoryServices Pegs Processor When Multi-threaded - Can I Lower The Burden?
Feb 23, 2009My application takes the currently logged-in user and uses an a DirectoryServices.DirectorySearcher to pull a few additional detail about them (some properties we have stored in a few custom AD fields, as well as their email address). This works great, though I've always though it was a little slow - my single-threaded code could only make about 2-3 requests/second to AD.
The real problem came when I moved this code to a web server. With multiple simultaneous users, the number of requests/second jumps greatly, and the LSASS.EXE process pegs on my server. I've checked the domain controllers, and they're just fine - the bottleneck is clearly on the application side. I suspect that what's slowing my down is the NTLM/Kerberos challenge/response, and the number of simultaneous requests pegs even the multi-core processor.
Our network policy doesn't allow anonymous reads from AD, so that choice is out. Also, I've tried every member of "AuthenticationTypes" (in the example, I'm using .FastBind), but they all seem to have about the same throughput rate with the same load on the processor.how I might work around this restriction and lower my demands on the processor? Here is the code I'm using - pretty straightforward:
Dim sPath As String = "LDAP://" & stringUserDN
Dim entry As New DirectoryEntry(sPath)
entry.AuthenticationType = AuthenticationTypes.FastBind[code]......
System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement - Error Adding User To Local Administrators Group But Not Other Groups?
Apr 30, 2012I am using System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement to try to add a local account to the local administrators group with the following code but am getting the error below on the group.Members.Add(usr) line. Both usr and group are created as objects and if I create a Test group, I can add the user to the Test group. I know the group object is the local administrators group and not the domain group because i changed the description on the local administratrors group and the group object is correct so it appears to be something specific to the local administrators group.
View 6 RepliesAsp.net Application To Import Its Own Namespace?
Jul 20, 2010I just converted UberSite, a vb.net web site to a web application. I get run-time errors saying that there is no such thing as type foo. When I drill down to the page in the code-view, it gives me an error-correction suggestion: import namespace UberSite.
If I create a new web application and define foo there, there is no need to import any namespace to use foo in the new application.
How can this be? Why does my web application seemingly need to import its own namespace?

Telerik.WebControls contains a class called RadAjaxControl.In the original web site project, I have code that looks like this:

dim foo as Telerik.Webcontrols.RadAjaxControl
Once I convert to a web application project, it says that Telerik.Webcontrols doesn't exist.

View 1 RepliesImport Project Namespace Into A View In Order To Use The Custom?
Jun 20, 2012I am trying to create a custom LabelFor helper to apply by default instead of the standard LabelFor helper include in System.Web.Mvc.Html. I want my LabelFor to take model properties that are PascalCase and make a label that appears as multiple words. For example the property FirstName would appear as "First Name".
I found this post that shows how to make a custom LabelFor helper that allows the addition of html attributes. I recreated this helper in VB.Net and modified it to do what I want, but I am not able to get it to work.
[Code]...
The sample includes this Module in Namespace System.Web.Mvc.Html but when I add the namespace declaration to this module everything in the rest of the project goes haywire. For example, each of my models has a Primary Key property that is a Guid datatype and as soon as I add the namespace above to the module, I get several errors stating that System.Guid is not defined among other similar errors.
I've tried to import my project namespace into a view in order to use the custom helper, but then I get an error that says Overload resolution failed because no 'LabelFor' is most specific for these arguments.I am trying to avoid having to specify a DisplayName for every PascalCase property I have in many models.
