public string SchemaClassName { get; }

member this.SchemaClassName : string

Public ReadOnly Property SchemaClassName As String

Property Value

Examples

The following example demonstrates the SchemaClassName and SchemaEntry properties of the DirectoryEntry class. This example gets the user-specified DirectoryEntry and gets all of its children if the SchemaEntry is a container object. The SchemaEntry is a container object if the Name of that object is "container".

Dim myADSPath As String = "LDAP://onecity/CN=Users,DC=onecity,DC=corp,DC=fabrikam,DC=com"

' Creates an Instance of DirectoryEntry.
Dim myDirectoryEntry As New DirectoryEntry(myADSPath, UserName, SecurelyStoredPassword)

' Display the 'SchemaClassName'.
Console.WriteLine("Schema class name:" + myDirectoryEntry.SchemaClassName)

' Gets the SchemaEntry of the ADS object.
Dim mySchemaEntry As DirectoryEntry = myDirectoryEntry.SchemaEntry

If String.Compare(mySchemaEntry.Name, "container") = 0 Then
   Dim myChildDirectoryEntry As DirectoryEntry
   For Each myChildDirectoryEntry In  myDirectoryEntry.Children
      Console.WriteLine(myChildDirectoryEntry.Path)
   Next

String myADSPath = "LDAP://onecity/CN=Users,DC=onecity,DC=corp,DC=fabrikam,DC=com";

// Creates an Instance of DirectoryEntry.
DirectoryEntry  myDirectoryEntry=new DirectoryEntry(myADSPath, UserName, SecurelyStoredPassword);

// Display the 'SchemaClassName'.
Console.WriteLine("Schema class name:" + myDirectoryEntry.SchemaClassName);

// Gets the SchemaEntry of the ADS object.
DirectoryEntry mySchemaEntry = myDirectoryEntry.SchemaEntry;

if (string.Compare(mySchemaEntry.Name, "container") == 0)
{
   foreach(DirectoryEntry myChildDirectoryEntry in myDirectoryEntry.Children)
      Console.WriteLine(myChildDirectoryEntry.Path);
}

String^ myADSPath = "LDAP://onecity/CN=Users,DC=onecity,DC=corp,DC=fabrikam,DC=com";

// Creates an Instance of DirectoryEntry.
DirectoryEntry^ myDirectoryEntry = gcnew DirectoryEntry(myADSPath, UserName, SecurelyStoredPassword);

// Display the 'SchemaClassName'.
Console::WriteLine("Schema class name:{0}", myDirectoryEntry->SchemaClassName);

// Gets the SchemaEntry of the ADS Object.
DirectoryEntry^ mySchemaEntry = myDirectoryEntry->SchemaEntry;

if (!String::Compare(mySchemaEntry->Name, "container"))
{
    Collections::IEnumerator^ myEnum = myDirectoryEntry->Children->GetEnumerator();
    while (myEnum->MoveNext())
    {
        DirectoryEntry^ myChildDirectoryEntry = safe_cast<DirectoryEntry^>(myEnum->Current);
        Console::WriteLine(myChildDirectoryEntry->Path);
    }
}

Remarks

This is the same as the Name property of the SchemaEntry property.

A DirectoryEntry object's schema defines its properties and methods.
