DirectorySearcher Methods

The methods of the DirectorySearcher class are listed below. For a complete list of DirectorySearcher class members, see the DirectorySearcher Members topic.

Public:

Dispose (inherited from Component) Disposes of the Component.
Equals (inherited from Object) Determines whether the specified Object is the same instance as the current Object. Subclasses are expected to override this method to support value equality (not reference equality).
FindAll Executes the search. A collection of results is returned that you can iterate over.
FindOne Executes the search. If the search returns more than one entry, only the first one is returned. If no entries were find matching the search criteria, null is returned.
GetContainer (inherited from Component) Returns the IContainer that contains the Component.
GetDesignMode (inherited from Component) Gets a value indicating whether the Component is currently in design mode.
GetHashCode (inherited from Object) Serves as a hash function for a particular type, suitable for use in hashing algorithms and data structures like a hash table.
GetServiceObject (inherited from Component) Returns an object representing a service provided by the Component.
GetType (inherited from Object) Gets the Type of the Object.
ToString (inherited from Component) Returns a String containing the name of the Component, if any. This method should not be overridden. For internal use only.

Protected:

Finalize (inherited from Object) Allows an Object to attempt to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before the Object is reclaimed by the Garbage Collector (GC). This method may be ignored by the runtime; therefore, necessary cleanup operations should be done elsewhere.
MemberwiseClone (inherited from Object) Creates a shallow copy of the current Object.
