Mapping ADSI Visual Basic Code to C++ Code

ADSI consists of more than 50 interfaces. Most directory operations can be completed using only five interfaces. They are:

• IADsOpenDSObject
• IADs
• IADsContainer
• IDirectoryObject
• IDirectorySearch

The following table lists mappings from ADSI VB/VBS code to C++ code. Be aware that this is not a complete list.

VBS Code	VC Code
Set obj = GetObject()	hr = AdsGetObject()
obj.Put obj.Get obj.Parent	IADs or IDirectoryObject
obj.Create obj.Delete obj.MoveHere	IADsContainer
For each… in…	AdsBuildEnumerator() ADsEnumerateNext()
Connection, Command, RecordSet	IDirectorySearch
Security descriptor, ACL, ACE	IADsSecurityDescriptor, IADsAccessControlList, IADsAccessControlEntry
