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.
