The GroupPrincipal type exposes the following members.
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | GroupPrincipal(PrincipalContext) | Initializes a new instance of the GroupPrincipal class by using the specified context. |
![]() | GroupPrincipal(PrincipalContext, String) | Initializes a new instance of the GroupPrincipal class and assigns it to the specified context and SAM account name. |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | Context | Gets a principal context that is associated with the principal. (Inherited from Principal.) |
![]() | ContextRaw | Gets a principal context that is associated with this principal. (Inherited from Principal.) |
![]() | ContextType | Gets the context type enumeraton value that specifies the type of principal context associated with this principal. (Inherited from Principal.) |
![]() | Description | Gets or sets the description of the principal. (Inherited from Principal.) |
![]() | DisplayName | Gets or sets the display name for this principal. (Inherited from Principal.) |
![]() | DistinguishedName | Gets the distinguished name (DN) for this principal. (Inherited from Principal.) |
![]() | GroupScope | Gets or sets a Nullable GroupScope enumeration that specifies the scope for this group principal. |
![]() | Guid | Gets the GUID associated with this principal. (Inherited from Principal.) |
![]() | IsSecurityGroup | Gets or sets a Nullable Boolean value that indicates whether the group is security-enabled. |
![]() | Members | Gets a collection of principal objects that represent the members of the group. |
![]() | Name | Gets or sets the name of this principal. (Inherited from Principal.) |
![]() | SamAccountName | Gets or sets the SAM account name for this principal. (Inherited from Principal.) |
![]() | Sid | Gets the Security ID (SID) of the principal. (Inherited from Principal.) |
![]() | StructuralObjectClass | Gets the structural object class directory attribute. (Inherited from Principal.) |
![]() | UserPrincipalName | Gets or sets the user principal name (UPN) associated with this principal. (Inherited from Principal.) |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | CheckDisposedOrDeleted | Determines whether the Dispose or Delete methods have been called on this class. This method is called by classes that derive from this principal class. (Inherited from Principal.) |
![]() | Delete | Deletes the principal object from the store. (Inherited from Principal.) |
![]() | Dispose | Disposes the current instance of the GroupPrincipal object. (Overrides Principal::Dispose().) |
![]() | Equals | Returns a Boolean value that specifies whether the supplied object is equal to the current object. (Inherited from Principal.) |
![]() | ExtensionGet | Retrieves an attribute of an extended class object. (Inherited from Principal.) |
![]() | ExtensionSet | Sets the value of an attribute in an extended class. (Inherited from Principal.) |
![]() | Finalize | Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() ![]() | FindByIdentity(PrincipalContext, String) | Returns a group principal object that matches the specified identity value. |
![]() ![]() | FindByIdentity(PrincipalContext, IdentityType, String) | Returns a group principal object that matches the specified identity type, and value. This version of the [Overlaod:System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement.GroupPrincipal.FindByIdentity] method determines the format of the identity value. |
![]() | GetGroups() | Returns a collection of group objects that specify the groups of which the current principal is a member. (Inherited from Principal.) |
![]() | GetGroups(PrincipalContext) | Returns a collection of group objects that the principal is a member of and that exist in the store provided by the specified context parameter. (Inherited from Principal.) |
![]() | GetHashCode | Retrieves the hash created from the contents of the principal object, suited for use in hashing algorithms and data structures like a hash table. (Inherited from Principal.) |
![]() | GetMembers() | Returns a collection of the principal objects that is contained in the group. |
![]() | GetMembers(Boolean) | Returns a collection of the principal objects that is contained in the group. When the recursive flag is set to true, this method searches the current group recursively and returns all nested group members. |
![]() | GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | GetUnderlyingObject | Returns the underlying DirectoryEntry object that provides the contact data for the principal object. (Inherited from Principal.) |
![]() | GetUnderlyingObjectType | Returns the underlying object type. (Inherited from Principal.) |
![]() | IsMemberOf(GroupPrincipal) | Returns a Boolean value that specifies whether the principal is a member of the specified group. (Inherited from Principal.) |
![]() | IsMemberOf(PrincipalContext, IdentityType, String) | Returns a Boolean value that specifies whether the principal is a member of the group specified by identity type and value. (Inherited from Principal.) |
![]() | MemberwiseClone | Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | Save() | Saves the changes that were made on the principal object to the store. If this is a new principal object, this method inserts it into the store. (Inherited from Principal.) |
![]() | Save(PrincipalContext) | Saves the changes that were made on the principal object to the store. If this is a new principal object, this method inserts it into the specified context. If the principal has already been persisted, it is moved from the original context to the specified context. (Inherited from Principal.) |
![]() | ToString | Returns a user friendly string representation of the current principal object. (Inherited from Principal.) |
