Hi,

I need to call the Active Directory People finder to search people from my webpage?
Is there a way in which I can do it programmatically?

I am able to get the details of the person if I know the identity, but my requirement is to allow admin to select a person from the AD and then get the details.

Any help / pointers will be great.

Thanks
Saurav

System.DirectoryServices is the namespace you'll want to use.

With Directory service, I am able to get individual details, but I am unable to make a call to the people finder.

Your either going to go directly to ActiveDirectory with your own code to find what you want, or if you want to use PeopleFinder for some reason you'll have to ask the people who wrote PeopleFinder to see what interface they exposed to applications to use, if any.
