Incorrect syntax near 'LDAP:'.

Question

5.00/5 (1 vote)

See more:

I was trying to execute my code but it throws exception like (Incorrect syntax near 'LDAP:'.)

This is the command text am passing string searchRoot = "";.

When I pass like this it throws Incorrect syntax near '<;'.

If I change my string to string searchRoot = "LDAP://DC=yourdomain,DC=com"; then it throws "Incorrect syntax near 'LDAP:'."

What am I missing here.

Here is the command text I got it when I debug

XML

"<LDAP://DC=yourdomain,DC=com>;
(&(objectCategory=person)(objectClass=user)(!(userAccountControl:1.2.840.113556.1.4.803:=2)));

"LDAP://DC=yourdomain,DC=com;
(&(objectCategory=person)(objectClass=user)(!(userAccountControl:1.2.840.113556.1.4.803:=2)));
sAMAccountName,
telephoneNumber,
mail, otherPager;s
ubtree"sAMAccountName, telephoneNumber, mail, otherPager;subtree"

I can't help but think this is related to you other problem: 'ADSDSOObject' failed with no error message available[^]

Have you cut'n'pasted this code from somewhere without altering it for your system as well?

If not, then edit your question and try to increase the fragment to show exactly the code that is giving the error, with a few lines either side to give context.
