Hi guys I'm fairly noob at this and can do all the basic functions of a button when the method to apply to it is clear.
My question is, where in the below text would I put the button.click curly braces
private void buttonCreateusr_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
}
to keep all code in its current context and essentially write the new user to active directory?
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.DirectoryServices;
using System.DirectoryServices.ActiveDirectory;
namespace WindowsFormsApplication1
{
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
string oGUID = string.Empty;
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
public string CreateUserAccount(string ldapPath, string userName,
string userPassword)
{
try
{
userPassword = "metal123";
ldapPath = "LDAP://OU=Aalco,OU=Aberdeen,DC=amari-metals,DC=.com"; //AD path - change aberdeen to variable on drop down
userName = BoxFirst.Text; //Whatever is typed in to the user name box will define the username
string connectionPrefix = "itsv.amari-metals.com" + ldapPath; // Connection to Active Directory
DirectoryEntry dirEntry = new DirectoryEntry(connectionPrefix); //Appends prefix to directory object
DirectoryEntry newUser = dirEntry.Children.Add
("CN=" + userName, "user"); //Adds an item to the above directory
newUser.Properties["samAccountName"].Value = userName;
newUser.CommitChanges(); //Applies the above code
oGUID = newUser.Guid.ToString(); // Constructs parameters in to
newUser.Invoke("SetPassword", new object[] { userPassword }); // Sets password to that defined above
newUser.CommitChanges(); // Applies the password
dirEntry.Close(); //releases resources from AD
newUser.Close(); //releases resources from AD
}
catch (System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryServicesCOMException E)
{
E.Message.ToString();
}
return oGUID;
}
}
}
Many thanks,
Elliot
