hi,

I am working on access user details from Active directory. I have tried this below code. but when I trying to access the user details, I am not getting any result.  Please verify the code below and let me know if I missed any point.

Code

void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

    {       

string connection = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["ADConnection"].ToString(); 

DirectorySearcher dssearch = new DirectorySearcher(connection);

        dssearch.Filter ="(sAMAccountName=" + txtusername.Text + ")";

//SearchResult sresult = dssearch.FindAll();

       SearchResult sresult = dssearch.FindOne();

DirectoryEntry dsresult = sresult.GetDirectoryEntry();

        lblfname.Text = dsresult.Properties[

"givenName"][0].ToString();

       

       

//lbllname.Text = dsresult.Properties["sn"][0].ToString();

       

//lblemail.Text = dsresult.Properties["mail"][0].ToString();       

    }
