please delete thread....

It is proper to keep a thread even if you already found the solution. Someone later on might have the same type of problem and this thread could help them.

Hi Paul, I agree. In this case no solution was found for the original question and the thread turned into an unreadable mess that would only serve to waste the time of someone seeking a solution. Usually, I get good or great responses from this forum. People usually read, think then answer (even if the correct solution is not given). Maybe I just asked on a bad day. shwaguy

Or, more likely, you asked a poorly defined question and are now upset and pouting. :((

thanks for letting me know you will ignore my threads...it was very useful on topic information (sc). I understand that people make mistakes, but, when I get 3 knee jerk responses (responses that have NO input to the question) in a row I tend to figure noone will want to read the thread. I twice stated that there was no issue with the existing code, but, you seemed to miss that. Your ego must be easily bruised if to be hurt by those exclamation marks. -If a response is not the solution thats all good. -If a response is correct solution thats all good. -If the response is off topic becuase the poster did not bother to read the post....I think "I wish that the poster could delete the response, its a waste of reading time and clutters the original post" You take offense way too easily. Just because you have 3500 posts does not mean I am kissing your butt for very poor, of topic, replies. I don't have anything against you either, I think you may have helped a lot of threads. shwaguy

beatit fool....read the code comments of my original code and the posting. Your wrong, stop flaming. I am starting to think taht a large portion of your 3500 posts were garbage posts.

It did sound rather vague.

Then why did you post it? Go away, son, you bore me.

Putting aside the 2 replies I got being totally off topic: - "what error message did you get?" - uh...none...I got a null value as stated. - replace code that was stated as working search.Filter = "samaccountname=" + userName; with this other filter that works equally well too (blah, blah, blah). Whats vague about the post?: //this filter works search.Filter = "samaccountname=" + userName; //This below formats for the search filter result in result=null //search.Filter = String.Format("(cn={0})", userName); //code project filter //search.Filter = "cn=" + userName; SearchResult result = search.FindOne(); shwaguy

You just have to feel like your right on this don't you? Here is the news, you are wrong again. The code although correct did not suit my purpose. If you bothered to read the posting you would have noted that I commented out (with comments) the items that would not work, but wanted to work. as previously stated: beat it.

The original post was rather vague. Not the ones that followed.
