ADSI VC++/ geeting the DN of a User

[rajesh_gaddam]

Hi,
I wrote a C++ program to get the DN of a user in ActiveDirectory. The program is fetching the object successfully and identifying the attribute "distinguishedname" correctly. But when I'm trying to print the value of "distinguishedname" it is printing <null>. I'm not sure whether this is a problem with my code or with the AD setup I'm using. I'm here posting the code. Please check that and tell if there is something wrong with the code.
I have attached the source code I'm using.

please reply soon.

regards,
rajesh.

I think you need to reference the returned data differently. At least in the sample, the return value appears to be an array of items. Also, the DN is referenced as a ".DNString".

from MSDN:

// Get the data for this column
wprintf(L"%s\n",col.pszAttrName);
switch (col.dwADsType)
{
   case ADSTYPE_DN_STRING:
     for (x = 0; x< col.dwNumValues; x++)
     {
        wprintf(L"  %s\r\n",col.pADsValues[x].DNString);
     }
     break;
   case ADSTYPE_CASE_EXACT_STRING:
   case ADSTYPE_CASE_IGNORE_STRING:
   case ADSTYPE_PRINTABLE_STRING:
   case ADSTYPE_NUMERIC_STRING:
   case ADSTYPE_TYPEDNAME:
   case ADSTYPE_FAXNUMBER:
   case ADSTYPE_PATH:
   case ADSTYPE_OBJECT_CLASS:
     for (x = 0; x< col.dwNumValues; x++)
     {
        wprintf(L"  %s\r\n",col.pADsValues[x].CaseIgnoreString);
     }
     break;

     // rest of code here...........
}
