Hi All,

I need to identify a particular Distribution List is available or not. If it is available, then i need to display the members falling under that distribution List. I need this to be done in asp.net using C#.Net.

Please provide me sample code of where to change or how to do that? i tried giving in

search.filter="memberOf=...". But memberOf list contains many fields like CN=..., OU=... like that. Which one to give in Filter so that i can display the members in that Distribution List. 

How to do that? And also, a code snippet, where i can get user's "memberOf" properties alone seperately. Say, if he a particular user "xyz" is a member of an orgn "ABC" and also under distribution lists of that orgn, say "ABC-Developers" and "ABC-Csharp", then i need to display like "xyz" member of "ABC, ABC-Developers, ABC-CSharp" like that. and in next line, to display the whole list of members falling under those 3 DL's.

Thanks in advance.

 Atlast, i found myself the answer for my query. hope this might work to solve this issue.

To display the members falling under the distribution list, here are the steps as i did to get:

step-1: Use the filter as search.filter = "CN=<DL display or CN property Name>"; 

step-2: If you read all its properties through
foreach(Object adObj in SearchObj.FindAll())
{
    foreach (String objName in adObj.GetDirectoryEntry().Properties["member"])
    {         
            document.write(convert.toString(objName));
    }
}

Can you post the full code for step 1,2 ?

How can i want to get members name or email or username while the loop ?

public void GetInfo()
    {
        try
        {
            //Object obj;
            DirectorySearcher search;
            DirectoryEntry entry;
            SearchResult result;
            String mailid = "";
            bool flag = false;

            
            entry = new DirectoryEntry(LDAPpath);//, Domainwithuser, password);
            search = new DirectorySearcher(entry);
            search.Filter = "CN=DistributionList1";
            int i = search.Filter.Length;
            
            string str = "", str1 = "";
            foreach (SearchResult AdObj in search.FindAll())
            {
                
                foreach (String objName in AdObj.GetDirectoryEntry().Properties["member"])
                {
                    str += Convert.ToString(objName) + "<Br>";
                    int selIndex = objName.IndexOf("CN=") + 3;
                    int selEnd = objName.IndexOf(",OU") - 3;
                    str1 += objName.Substring(selIndex, selEnd).Replace("\\", "") + "<BR>";
                    
                    DirectorySearcher dsSearch = new DirectorySearcher(entry);
                    dsSearch.Filter = "CN=" + objName.Substring(selIndex, selEnd).Replace("\\", "");
                    foreach (SearchResult rs in dsSearch.FindAll())
                    {
                        str1 += "&lt;p align='right'><font face='calibri' color='#2266aa' size=2>" + Convert.ToString(rs.GetDirectoryEntry().Properties["mail"].Value) + "|" + Convert.ToString(rs.GetDirectoryEntry().Properties["displayName"].Value) + "|" + Convert.ToString(rs.GetDirectoryEntry().Properties["sAMAccountName"].Value) + "|" + Convert.ToString(rs.GetDirectoryEntry().Properties["department"].Value) + "|" + Convert.ToString(rs.GetDirectoryEntry().Properties["memberOf"].Value) + "&lt;/font></p>";
                    }
                }
            }
            Response.Write("&lt;BR>" + str + "&lt;Br>" + str1 + "&lt;BR>");
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            Response.Write("--unable to fetch--<BR>" + ex.Message);

        }
    }
