There is a System.DirectoryServices .NET DLL which you could add a
reference to. This deals with Active Directory, is this what you are looking
for ?

hi OHM#

What I want to do is to access data in another directory than AD, I would
like to know if this is possible via ADSI or ADO or any other .net DLL.

If you are referring to Active Directory Service Interfaces Overview (
ADSI ) this allows programmers to access Active Directory objects. You need
to add a reference to the Systm.DirectoryServices DLL in your project
window. Then you can access the object model from this. It's not something I
have had to do, but I kow its there. Other than that I'm not sure what you
are trying to acheive.

As far as ADO is concerned ( ADO.NET ), in the NET framework. This is for
database connectivity and data manipulation. Is this what you actually want
?

let's reformulate my request :

I am looking for an ldap object that could allow me to issue any ldap
request against any type of ldapV3 compliant directories. This using VB. I
am wondering if I can do that with ADO which knows about an "active
directory provider" which allows to issue ldap request. But I suspect I need
another provider, something like "generic ldap provider". Any suggestion is
welcome.

Thanks
