new System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement.UserPrincipal : System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement.PrincipalContext -> System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement.UserPrincipal

Public Sub New (context As PrincipalContext)

Examples

The following code example connects to the LDAP domain "fabrikam.com" with the username and password initialized in the PrincipalContext constructor to "administrator" and "securelyStoredPassword."

The properties set in the example, such as user name and email address, are created under the container specified in the PrincipalContext constructor: "CN=Users,DC=fabrikam,DC=com."

PrincipalContext ctx = new PrincipalContext(  
                                         ContextType.Domain,  
                                         "fabrikam.com",   
                                         "CN=Users,DC=fabrikam,DC=com",  
                                         "administrator",   
                                         "securelyStoredPassword");   

UserPrincipal usr = new UserPrincipal(ctx);  

usr.Name = "Jim Daly";  
usr.Description = "This is the user account for Jim Daly";  
usr.EmailAddress = "jimdaly@fabrikam.com";  
usr.SetPassword("securelyStoredPassword");  
usr.Save();  

usr.Dispose();
