You would need following things before you can use  Active Direcotry:

• Active Directory LDAP URL/Conneciton string mostly like LDAP://somecompany.com
• A user that has Active Directory enumenration capabilities/rights.

Refer the following article to see almost everything that can be done using C# and Active Direcotry, if you have further quesitons let me know:
