I have copied the code here 

     myLdapConnection.Bind();
                string groupdn = "ou="+groupname+",ou=groups" + dc;
                string userdn = "cn=" + username + usersdc ;               

                DirectoryAttributeModification addnewusertogroup = new DirectoryAttributeModification();
                addnewusertogroup.Operation = DirectoryAttributeOperation.Replace;
                addnewusertogroup.Name = "member";
                addnewusertogroup.Add(groupdn);
                ModifyRequest modifyreq = new ModifyRequest(userdn , addnewusertogroup);

add memberuid to group

 myLdapConnection.Bind();
                string groupdn = "cn="+groupname +",ou=Groups" + dc;                
                string userdn = "cn=" + username + usersdc;
                String[] attribVals = new String[1];
                attribVals[0] = userdn;
                ModifyRequest modifyreq = new ModifyRequest(groupdn, DirectoryAttributeOperation.Add, "memberUid", attribVals);

jean, when i pulled out sample details of a windows AD user i can see memberOf attribute is there ... but i cannot user that in openldap user. is there anyway that i can add groups (array of groups) to a user ?

I am using inetorgPerson object class for user.
