Dim myDirectoryEntry As New DirectoryEntry(myADSPath)

' Display the Guid and NativeGuid.
Console.WriteLine("The GUID of the ADS object:" + myDirectoryEntry.Guid.ToString)
Console.WriteLine("The Native GUID of the ADS" + "object:" + myDirectoryEntry.NativeGuid)

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

// Display the Guid and NativeGuid.
Console.WriteLine("The GUID of the ADS object:"+
                  myDirectoryEntry.Guid);
Console.WriteLine("The Native GUID of the ADS"+
                  "object:"+myDirectoryEntry.NativeGuid);

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

// Display the Guid and NativeGuid.
Console::WriteLine("The GUID of the ADS object: {0}", myDirectoryEntry->Guid);
Console::WriteLine("The Native GUID of the ADS object: {0}",
                   myDirectoryEntry->NativeGuid);

Remarks

When binding to an object in Active Directory Domain Services, use the NativeGuid property.
