Assembly: System.DirectoryServices (in System.DirectoryServices.dll)
[ComVisibleAttribute(false)] [DSDescriptionAttribute(L"DSDerefAlias")] public: property DereferenceAlias DerefAlias { DereferenceAlias get (); void set (DereferenceAlias value); }
Property Value
Type: System.DirectoryServices::DereferenceAliasA DereferenceAlias value that specifies the behavior in which aliases are dereferenced. The default setting for this property is Never.
The following C# example shows how to set the DerefAlias property to Always , so that it dereferences aliases when both searching subordinates and locating base objects.
using System.DirectoryServices;
...
// Bind to the users container.
DirectoryEntry entry = new DirectoryEntry("LDAP://CN=users,DC=fabrikam,DC=com");
// Create a DirectorySearcher object.
DirectorySearcher mySearcher = new DirectorySearcher(entry);
// Set DerefAlias to Always.
src.DerefAlias = DerefenceAlias.Always;
//Use the FindAll method to get search results.
SearchResultCollection res = src.FindAll();
