"The .NET Developer's Guide to Directory Services Programming" by Joe Kaplan and Ryan Dunn I am looking at my copy as I type.
Used it mainly for looking at user account attributes from AD. Have not used it for a while. System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement makes this so much easier for what I wanted than what I found in the book, but the book nevertheless provides a good insight. When first starting out with LDAP, I found Softerra's free LDAP Browser http://www.ldapadministrator.com/download.htm very useful.

Makes working with users and groups pretty easy. Check it out to see if it meets your needs.

I've had a look at the book's website, and it hasn't been updated since 2007, and the Amazon reviews tail off around 2008 too. Just curious to know whether there have been any advances in directory services programming since then, or whether the book is still relevant. We are about to commence work on a small project that will involve some complex LDAP queries, and wondering whether to use the book as a reference, or bin it? There is a sample chapter from the book available at http://www.awprofessional.com/content/images/0321350170/samplechapter/Kaplan_ch10.pdf Dylan Tusler ________________________________ To find out more about the Sunshine Coast Regional Council, visit your local office at Caloundra, Maroochydore, Nambour or Tewantin or visit us online at www.sunshinecoast.qld.gov.au<http://www.sunshinecoast.qld.gov.au/>.
