Examples

The following example creates a DirectoryEntry for the node in the Active Directory Domain Services. It then displays the Name and Path properties of its child nodes.

Dim myADSPath As String = "LDAP://onecity/CN=Users,DC=onecity,
           _DC=corp,DC=fabrikam,DC=com"
Dim myDirectoryEntry As New DirectoryEntry(myADSPath)

Console.WriteLine("DirectoryEntry Name :" + myDirectoryEntry.Name)
Console.WriteLine(ControlChars.NewLine _
        + "The child entries for this node in the Active Directory Domain Services hierarchy")

Dim myDirectoryEntryChild As DirectoryEntry
For Each myDirectoryEntryChild In  myDirectoryEntry.Children
   Console.WriteLine(myDirectoryEntryChild.Path)
Next myDirectoryEntryChild

String myADSPath = "LDAP://onecity/CN=Users,
             DC=onecity,DC=corp,DC=fabrikam,DC=com";
DirectoryEntry myDirectoryEntry=new DirectoryEntry(myADSPath);

Console.WriteLine("DirectoryEntry Name :"+ myDirectoryEntry.Name);
Console.WriteLine("\nThe child entries for this node "+
   "in the Active Directory Domain Services hierarchy");

foreach(DirectoryEntry myDirectoryEntryChild in
   myDirectoryEntry.Children)
{
   Console.WriteLine(myDirectoryEntryChild.Path);
}

Remarks

This name, along with SchemaClassName, distinguishes this entry from its siblings and must be unique among its siblings in each container.
