I forgot to access the Item index value

Question

User-1542376292 posted

Here is the final result I am getting

 

Last Name	First Name	Email Address
System.DirectoryServices.ResultPropertyValueCollection	System.DirectoryServices.ResultPropertyValueCollection	System.DirectoryServices.ResultPropertyValueCollection
System.DirectoryServices.ResultPropertyValueCollection	System.DirectoryServices.ResultPropertyValueCollection	System.DirectoryServices.ResultPropertyValueCollection
System.DirectoryServices.ResultPropertyValueCollection	System.DirectoryServices.ResultPropertyValueCollection	System.DirectoryServices.ResultPropertyValueCollection
System.DirectoryServices.ResultPropertyValueCollection	System.DirectoryServices.ResultPropertyValueCollection	System.DirectoryServices.ResultPropertyValueCollection
System.DirectoryServices.ResultPropertyValueCollection	System.DirectoryServices.ResultPropertyValueCollection	System.DirectoryServices.ResultPropertyValueCollection

 

Any idea what the problem is?

Thanks

I split this post from the other one because I don't want to drag an ages old post to the top again.  Please create a new thread and do not piggyback on other, but unrelated threads.

What you are seeing is the exactly the same as if you tried a ToString() operation on any reference type (assuming they did not overload the method).

Do you see from this output that you have a ResultPropertyValueCollection? Collections require that you access their Item through either an Index or Value type of property.  In this case, you must use the index -

//returns first item in collection as string.
SearchResult.Properties["someProperty"][0].ToString()
