    <summary>The <see cref="T:System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry" /> class encapsulates a node or object in the Active Directory Domain Services hierarchy.</summary>
    <remarks>
      <format type="text/markdown"><![CDATA[  
  
## Remarks  
 Use this class for binding to objects, or reading and updating attributes. <xref:System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry>, along with helper classes, provides support for life-cycle management and navigation methods. These include creating, deleting, renaming, moving a child node, and enumerating children. After you modify a node, you must commit your changes in order for them to be saved to the tree. For more information, see the <xref:System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry.CommitChanges%2A> property.  
  
 <xref:System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry> can be used to access regular entries and some, but not all, information from schema entries.  
  
 The Active Directory Domain Services hierarchy contains up to several thousand nodes. Each node represents an object, such as a network printer or a user in a domain. Corporate networks constantly change as new employees are hired and objects such as network printers and computers are added. Active Directory Service Interfaces (ADSI) technology provides ways to programmatically add these objects to the directory tree.  
  
 To create a directory entry in the hierarchy, use the <xref:System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry.Children%2A> property. The <xref:System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry.Children%2A> property is a collection that provides an <xref:System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntries.Add%2A> method, through which you add a node to the collection directly below the parent node that you are currently bound to. When adding a node to the collection, you must specify a name for the new node and the name of a schema template that you want to associate with the node. For example, you might want to use a schema titled "Computer" to add new computers to the hierarchy.  
  
 This class also contains attribute caching, which can be useful for optimizing network traffic. To use attribute caching, see the <xref:System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry.UsePropertyCache%2A> property.  
  
 The classes associated with the <xref:System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry> component can be used with any of the Active Directory Domain Services service providers. Some of the current providers are Internet Information Services (IIS), Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP), Novell NetWare Directory Service (NDS), and WinNT.  
  
> [!NOTE]
>  It is assumed that you have a general understanding of Active Directory Domain Services before using this class. For more information, see the <xref:System.DirectoryServices?displayProperty=nameWithType> namespace overview.

## Remarks  
 The child entries are only the immediate children of this node.  
  
 Use this property to find, retrieve, or create a directory entry in the hierarchy. This property is a collection that, along with the usual iteration capabilities, provides an <xref:System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntries.Add%2A> method through which you add a node to the collection directly below the parent node that you are currently bound to. When adding a node to the collection, you must specify a name for the new node and the name of a schema template that you want to associate with the node. For example, you might want to use a schema titled "Computer" to add new computers to the hierarchy.  
  
> [!NOTE]
>  By default, changes are made locally to a cache. After you modify or add a node, you must call the <xref:System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry.CommitChanges%2A> method to commit your changes in order for them to be saved to the tree. If you call <xref:System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry.RefreshCache> before calling <xref:System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry.CommitChanges%2A>, any uncommitted changes to the property cache will be lost. For more information, see the <xref:System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry.CommitChanges%2A> and <xref:System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry.RefreshCache> methods, and the <xref:System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry.UsePropertyCache%2A> property.

 By default, changes to properties are made locally to a cache, and property values to be read are cached after the first read. For more information, see <xref:System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry.UsePropertyCache%2A>.  
  
 Changes made to the cache include changes to the properties as well as calls to <xref:System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntries.Add%2A> (if this is the newly created entry).

 This method is called by the public <xref:System.ComponentModel.Component.Dispose> method and the <xref:System.Object.Finalize> method, if it has been overridden. <xref:System.ComponentModel.Component.Dispose> invokes the protected <xref:System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry.Dispose%2A> method with the `disposing` parameter set to `true`. `Finalize` specifies the `disposing` parameter as `false`.  
  
 When the `disposing` parameter is `true`, this method releases all resources that are held by any managed objects that this <xref:System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry> object references. This method invokes the `Dispose()` method of each referenced object.

## Remarks  
 When binding to an object in Active Directory Domain Services, use the <xref:System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry.NativeGuid%2A> property.  
  
   
  
## Examples  
 The following example demonstrates the <xref:System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry.Guid%2A> and <xref:System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry.NativeGuid%2A> properties of the <xref:System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry> class. This example gets the user-specified <xref:System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry> and displays its <xref:System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry.Guid%2A> and <xref:System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry.NativeGuid%2A> properties.  
  
```vb  
Dim myADSPath As [String] = "LDAP://onecity/CN=Users,DC=onecity,DC=corp,DC=fabrikam,DC=com"  
Dim myDirectoryEntry As New DirectoryEntry(myADSPath)  
  
' Display the Guid and NativeGuid.  
Console.WriteLine("The GUID of the ADS object:" + myDirectoryEntry.Guid.ToString)  
Console.WriteLine("The Native GUID of the ADS" + "object:" + myDirectoryEntry.NativeGuid)  
```  
  
```csharp  
String myADSPath = "LDAP://onecity/CN=Users,DC=onecity,DC=corp,DC=fabrikam,DC=com";

// Display the Guid and NativeGuid.  
Console.WriteLine("The GUID of the ADS object:"+  
                  myDirectoryEntry.Guid);  
Console.WriteLine("The Native GUID of the ADS"+  
                  "object:"+myDirectoryEntry.NativeGuid);

 The following example creates a <xref:System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry> for the node in the Active Directory Domain Services. It then displays the <xref:System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry.Name%2A> and <xref:System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry.Path%2A> properties of its child nodes.

## Remarks  
 Use the <xref:System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry.NativeGuid%2A> property when binding an object in Active Directory Domain Services.  
  
> [!NOTE]
>  The Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) provider returns the globally unique identifier of a <xref:System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry> in a different format than the Internet Information Services (IIS), Novell NetWare Directory Server (NDS), and WinNT providers.

 The following example demonstrates the <xref:System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry.Guid%2A> and <xref:System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry.NativeGuid%2A> properties of the <xref:System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry> class. This example gets the user-specified <xref:System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry> and displays its <xref:System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry.Guid%2A> and <xref:System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry.NativeGuid%2A> properties.

## Remarks  
 Use this property to cast the native Active Directory Domain Services object, which implements the IADs interface, when you want to use a COM interface. For more information about the IADs interface, see the [IADs](/windows/win32/api/iads/nn-iads-iads) article.
  
 This object is for advanced scenarios that cannot be accomplished with the <xref:System.DirectoryServices?displayProperty=nameWithType> classes alone. To use it, you need to import one of the COM interfaces from the IADs family, then cast this property to that interface.

## Remarks  
 You can set the <xref:System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry.Username%2A> and <xref:System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry.Password%2A> properties to specify alternate credentials with which to access the information in Active Directory Domain Services. Any other <xref:System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry> objects retrieved from this instance (for example, through <xref:System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry.Children%2A>) are automatically created with the same alternate credentials.  
  
   
  
## Examples  
 The following example demonstrates the <xref:System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry.Username%2A> and <xref:System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry.Password%2A> properties of the <xref:System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry> class. This example gets the user-specified <xref:System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry> and the <xref:System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry.Path%2A> of all its <xref:System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry.Children%2A>.

## Remarks  
 The <xref:System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry.Path%2A> property uniquely identifies this entry in a networked environment. This entry can always be retrieved using this <xref:System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry.Path%2A>.  
  
 Setting the <xref:System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry.Path%2A> retrieves a new entry from the directory store; it does not change the path of the currently bound entry.  
  
 The classes associated with the <xref:System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry> component can be used with any of the Active Directory Domain Services service providers. Some of the current providers are Internet Information Services (IIS), Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP), Novell NetWare Directory Service (NDS), and WinNT.  
  
> [!NOTE]
>  The section of the <xref:System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry.Path%2A> that identifies the provider (precedes "://") is case-sensitive. For example, "LDAP://" or "WinNT://".  
  
 The syntax for the <xref:System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry.Path%2A> property varies according to the provider. Some common scenarios are:  
  
 WinNT  
  
-   Connect to a group on a computer. For example, "WinNT://**\<domain name>/\<computer name>/\<group name>**". If you are connecting to a local computer, "WinNT://**\<computer name>/\<group name>**".  
  
-   Connect to a user on a computer. For example, "WinNT://**\<domain name>/\<computer name>/\<user name>**". If you are connecting to a local computer, "WinNT://**\<computer name>/\<user name>**".  
  
-   Connect to services on a computer. For example, "WinNT://**\<domain name>/\<computer name>/\<service name>**". If you are connecting to a local computer, "WinNT://**\<computer name>/\<service name>**".  
  
-   Discover all domains on the network. For example, "WinNT:" The domains can be found by enumerating the children of this entry.  
  
 LDAP  
  
-   Connect to a group in a domain. For example, "LDAP://CN=\<group name>, CN =\<Users>, DC=\<domain component>, DC=\<domain component>,...".  
  
-   Connect to a user in a domain. For example, "LDAP://CN=\<full user name>, CN=\<Users>, DC=\<domain component>, DC=\<domain component>,...".  
  
-   Connect to computers in a domain. For example, "LDAP://CN=\<computer name>, CN=\<Computers>, DC=\<domain component>, DC=\<domain component>,...".  
  
 IIS  
  
-   Connect to a Web directory. For example, "IIS://LocalHost/W3SVC/1/ROOT/\<Web directory name>".  
  
 To bind to the current domain using LDAP, use the path "LDAP://RootDSE", then get the default naming context and rebind the entry. For example:  
  
```csharp  
String str = ent.Properties["defaultNamingContext"][0];  
DirectoryEntry domain = new DirectoryEntry("LDAP://" + str);  
```  
  
 For more information, see the documentation for your provider and the [Using Active Directory Service Interfaces](/windows/desktop/adsi/using-adsi) article.

## Remarks  
 If the property is not initialized, <xref:System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry.Properties%2A> calls the ADSI interface [IADs::Get](/windows/win32/api/iads/nf-iads-iads-get) method to retrieve the value from the cache. If the underling cache has not been loaded, [IADs::Get](/windows/win32/api/iads/nf-iads-iads-get) implicitly calls [IADs::GetInfo](/windows/win32/api/iads/nf-iads-iads-getinfo). This method loads the values of the supported properties that have not been set in the cache from the underlying directory store. Subsequent calls to <xref:System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry.Properties%2A> retrieves the property values in the cache only. To control property cache loading, call <xref:System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry.RefreshCache%2A>.  
  
 **Note** The <xref:System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry.Properties%2A> property is not supported for use with the Active Directory Client Extension (DSClient) for Windows NT 4.0.

 This is the same as the <xref:System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry.Name%2A> property of the <xref:System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry.SchemaEntry%2A> property.  
  
 A <xref:System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry> object's schema defines its properties and methods.  
  
   
  
## Examples  
 The following example demonstrates the <xref:System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry.SchemaClassName%2A> and <xref:System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry.SchemaEntry%2A> properties of the <xref:System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry> class. This example gets the user-specified <xref:System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry> and gets all of its children if the <xref:System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry.SchemaEntry%2A> is a container object.  The <xref:System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry.SchemaEntry%2A> is a container object if the <xref:System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry.Name%2A> of that object is "container".

## Remarks  
 An entry's schema determines a list of its mandatory and optional property names.  
  
 You can use this property to find out what properties and methods are available on the associated object.  
  
   
  
## Examples  
 The following example demonstrates the <xref:System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry.SchemaClassName%2A> and <xref:System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry.SchemaEntry%2A> properties of the <xref:System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry> class. This example gets the user-specified <xref:System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry> object and gets all of its children if the <xref:System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry.SchemaEntry%2A> object is a container object.  The <xref:System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry.SchemaEntry%2A> is a container object if the <xref:System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry.Name%2A> of that object is "container".

## Remarks  
 By default, changes to properties are made locally to a cache, and property values to be read are cached after the first read. When the <xref:System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry.UsePropertyCache%2A> property is `true`, access to the <xref:System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry> object's properties is faster. Setting this to `false` will cause the cache to be committed after each operation.  
  
 If the <xref:System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry.UsePropertyCache%2A> property is `true` and you want to commit cached changes, call the <xref:System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry.CommitChanges%2A> method. To update values in the cache after changes to the directory are made, call the <xref:System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry.RefreshCache%2A> method.  
  
> [!CAUTION]
>  If you call <xref:System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry.RefreshCache%2A> before calling <xref:System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry.CommitChanges%2A>, any uncommitted changes to the property cache will be lost.  
  
> [!NOTE]
>  The Internet Information Services (IIS) provider does not support committing the cache after each operation.

## Remarks  
 You can set the <xref:System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry.Username%2A> and <xref:System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry.Password%2A> in order to specify alternate credentials with which to access the information in Active Directory Domain Services. Any other <xref:System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry> objects retrieved from this instance (for example, through <xref:System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry.Children%2A>) are automatically created with the same alternate credentials.  
  
   
  
## Examples  
 The following example demonstrates the <xref:System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry.Username%2A> and <xref:System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry.Password%2A> properties of the <xref:System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry> class. This example gets the user-specified <xref:System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry> and the <xref:System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry.Path%2A> of all its <xref:System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry.Children%2A>.
