When I debugging function that retrieved active directory properties, Visual Studio 2005 debugger show them as a collection , but not as an individual values. So I wrote function, copied from GetPropertyList function from LDAP, IIS and WinNT Directory Services article written by klaus_salchner
[Conditional("DEBUG")]
public static void PrintDirectoryEntryProperties(System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry entry, string sComment)
{
// loop through all the properties and get the key for each
foreach (string Key in entry.Properties.PropertyNames)
{
string sPropertyValues = String.Empty;
// now loop through all the values in the property;
// can be a multi-value property
foreach (object Value in entry.Properties[Key])
sPropertyValues += Convert.ToString(Value) + ";";
// cut off the separator at the end of the value list
sPropertyValues = sPropertyValues.Substring(0, sPropertyValues.Length - 1);
// now add the property info to the property list
Debug.WriteLine(Key + "=" + sPropertyValues);
}
}
Ideally it should be possible to write Debug Visualizer for them.
