Property Value

A StringCollection object that contains the set of properties to retrieve during the search.

The default is an empty StringCollection, which retrieves all properties.

Attributes

Remarks

To retrieve specific properties, add them to this collection before you begin the search. For example, searcher.PropertiesToLoad.Add("phone"); will add the phone property to the list of properties to retrieve in the search.

The property "ADsPath" is always retrieved during the search. On Windows 2000 and earlier operating systems, the account that performs the search must be a member of the Administrators group to retrieve the ntSecurityDescriptor property. If this is not the case, the property value that is returned for ntSecurityDescriptor will be null. For more information, see the NT-Security-Descriptor article.
