  Snippet to obtain Active Directory Path

  Jun 13, 2009 10:47 PM|StevenSw|LINK

  Sumply return the path of AD when executed on a domain.

  public string ActiveDirectoryPath()
  {
  	DirectoryEntry root = new DirectoryEntry("LDAP://RootDSE");
  	using (root)
  	{
  		string dnc = root.Properties["defaultNamingContext"][0].ToString();
  		string server = root.Properties["dnsHostName"][0].ToString();
  		string adsPath = String.Format("LDAP://{0}/{1}", server, dnc);
  		return adsPath;
  	}
  }

  In a using code block eh? Is an object with a DirectoryEntry type disposable?
