ExtendedDN Enumeration
The ExtendedDN enumeration specifies the format in which to return the extended distinguished name. This enumeration is used with the DirectorySearcher.ExtendedDN property.
Namespace: System.DirectoryServices
Assembly: System.DirectoryServices (in System.DirectoryServices.dll)
The extended form of a distinguished name includes a string representation of the objectGUID property of an object. For security principal objects such as users, groups, and computers, the extended form also includes a string representation of the objectSID property. For more information about the objectGUID and objectSID properties, see the topics Object-Guid and Object-Sid in the MSDN Library at http://msdn.microsoft.com/library.
The following C# example shows how to return a collection of distinguished names in hexadecimal format.
using System.DirectoryServices; ... DirectorySearcher src = new DirectorySearcher("…"); src.PropertiesToLoad = new string[] {ntSecurityDescriptor,…}; src.ExtendedDN = ExtendedDN.HexString; SearchResultCollection res = src.FindAll();
