DirectoryEntry.Name

The Name property gets the name of the object as named with the underlying directory service.

public String Name {get;}

Public ReadOnly Property Name As String

Property Value

The name of the object as named with the underlying directory service.

Remarks

This name, along with SchemaClassName, distinguishes this entry from its siblings and must be unique among its siblings in each instance of DirectoryEntry.

Example Code [Visual Basic .NET]

The following example creates a DirectoryEntry for the node in the Active Directory. It then displays the Name and Path properties of its child nodes.

Dim myADSPath As String = "LDAP://onecity/CN=Users,DC=onecity,
           _DC=corp,DC=fabrikam,DC=com"
Dim myDirectoryEntry As New DirectoryEntry(myADSPath)

Console.WriteLine("DirectoryEntry Name :" + myDirectoryEntry.Name)
Console.WriteLine(ControlChars.NewLine _
        + "The child entries for this node in the Active Directory hierarchy")

Dim myDirectoryEntryChild As DirectoryEntry
For Each myDirectoryEntryChild In  myDirectoryEntry.Children
   Console.WriteLine(myDirectoryEntryChild.Path)
Next myDirectoryEntryChild

Example Code [C#]

The following example creates a DirectoryEntry for the node in the Active Directory. It then displays the Name and Path properties of its child nodes.

String myADSPath = "LDAP://onecity/CN=Users,
             DC=onecity,DC=corp,DC=fabrikam,DC=com";
DirectoryEntry myDirectoryEntry=new DirectoryEntry(myADSPath);

Console.WriteLine("DirectoryEntry Name :"+ myDirectoryEntry.Name);
Console.WriteLine("\nThe child entries for this node "+
   "in the Active Directory hierarchy");

foreach(DirectoryEntry myDirectoryEntryChild in
   myDirectoryEntry.Children)
{
   Console.WriteLine(myDirectoryEntryChild.Path);
}

Example Code [Managed C++]

The following example creates a DirectoryEntry for the node in the Active Directory. It then displays the Name and Path properties of its child nodes.

String* myADSPath = S"LDAP://onecity/CN=Users,
           DC=onecity,DC=corp,DC=fabrikam,DC=com";
DirectoryEntry* myDirectoryEntry = new DirectoryEntry(myADSPath);

Console::WriteLine(S"DirectoryEntry Name : {0}", myDirectoryEntry->Name);
Console::WriteLine(S"\nThe child entries for 
          this node in the Active Directory hierarchy");

Collections::IEnumerator* myEnumerator = myDirectoryEntry->Children->
          GetEnumerator();
while (myEnumerator->MoveNext()) {
    DirectoryEntry* myDirectoryEntryChild = __try_cast<DirectoryEntry*>
          (myEnumerator->Current);
    Console::WriteLine(myDirectoryEntryChild->Path);
}
