The following Visual Basic .NET example creates a new DirectoryEntry object with the specified path, then creates a new entry in the container and saves it. Finally, it retrieves the new entry and deletes it.
Imports System Imports System.DirectoryServices Class MyClass1 Shared Sub Main() Try Dim strPath As String = "IIS://localhost/W3SVC/1/Root" Dim strName As String = "" ' Create a new 'DirectoryEntry' object with the given path. Dim myDE As New DirectoryEntry(strPath) Dim myEntries As DirectoryEntries = myDE.Children ' Create a new entry 'Sample' in the container. Dim myDirectoryEntry As DirectoryEntry = myEntries.Add("Sample", myDE.SchemaClassName) ' Save changes of entry in the 'Active Directory Domain Services'. myDirectoryEntry.CommitChanges() Console.WriteLine(myDirectoryEntry.Name + " entry is created in container.") ' Find 'Sample' entry in container. myDirectoryEntry = myEntries.Find("Sample", myDE.SchemaClassName) Console.WriteLine(myDirectoryEntry.Name + " found in container.") ' Remove 'Sample' entry from container. strName = myDirectoryEntry.Name myEntries.Remove(myDirectoryEntry) Console.WriteLine(strName + " entry is removed from container.") Catch e As Exception Console.WriteLine("The following exception was raised : {0}", e.Message.ToString()) End Try End Sub 'Main End Class 'MyClass1
