DirectoryEntry.NativeObject

The NativeObject property gets the native Active Directory Service Interfaces (ADSI) object.

public Object NativeObject {get;}

Public ReadOnly Property NativeObject As Object

Property Value

The native ADSI object.

Remarks

Use this property to cast the native Active Directory object, which implements the IADs interface, when you want to use a COM interface.

This object is for advanced scenarios that cannot be accomplished with the System.DirectoryServices classes alone. To use it, you need to import one of the COM interfaces from the IADs family, then cast this property to that interface.
