Hi Arran,
~, |, & are the bitwise operators of C# language.
You can find ADS_UF_ACCOUNTDISABLEa in ADS_USER_FLAG_ENUM:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/netdir/adsi
/ads_user_flag_enum.asp
that ADS_UF_ACCOUNTDISABLE= 0x0002;
0x0002's binary expression is 0000,0000,0000,0010, so ~0x0002 is
1111,1111,1111,1101.
val & ~ADS_UF_ACCOUNTDISABLE equals val&1111,1111,1111,1101 which makes all
the other bits stay the same value as before, only the second bit becomes 0.
Then, when invoke CommitChanges(), .Net Framework will check second bit of
userAccountControl property, and 0 means enable.
Alike, val | ADS_UF_ACCOUNTDISABLE equals valu| 0000,0000,0000,0010 which
makes all bits stay the same, second bit becomes 1.
This makes diable the user account.
Hope I explain clear.
If you still have any unclear, please feel free to tell me.
Best regards,

| In the example for enable or disable the account it has this:
|
| int val = (int) usr.Properties["userAccountControl"].Value;
| usr.Properties["userAccountControl"].Value = val | ADS_UF_ACCOUNTDISABLE;
|
| and
|
| int val = (int) usr.Properties["userAccountControl"].Value;
| usr.Properties["userAccountControl"].Value = val & ~ADS_UF_ACCOUNTDISABLE;
|
| What is happening with the "val | ADS_UF_ACCOUNTDISABLE" and "val &
| ~ADS_UF_ACCOUNTDISABLE"?
