I wrote a bit of code this morning to update an old web service I wrote that returns users from active directory along with some key data. If you’re interested in a web service that returns a users account name, phone, email and name read on for the sample! The code is fairly straightforward and self explanatory if you need help just respond back.

using System;
using System.Collections;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.DirectoryServices;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.Services;
using System.Web.Services.Protocols;

namespace Utilities
{
    /// 

    /// GetUserInfoFromAD is a web service that pulls user information from Active Directory based on the user's NT ID.
    /// The information retrieved includes the email, display name, and cost center of the user.
    /// 
    [WebService(Namespace = "http://it-sp-dev/")]
    [WebServiceBinding(ConformsTo = WsiProfiles.BasicProfile1_1)]
    [ToolboxItem(false)]
    public class GetUserInfoFromAD : System.Web.Services.WebService
    {
        [WebMethod]
        public DataTable ldapsearch(string query)
        {
            // Search adPath using this string
            string sFilter = String.Format("(&(objectClass=user)(mail={0}))", "*"+ query + "*");

            //these are the attributes that will show           
            string[] attribs = new string[] { "SAMAccountName", "Name", "TelephoneNumber", "Mail" };

            // Search using these filters
            DirectorySearcher ds = new DirectorySearcher("");
            ds.Filter = sFilter;

            DataTable dt = new DataTable("ADLookup");
            dt.Columns.Add("UserName", typeof(string));
            dt.Columns.Add("Name", typeof(string));
            dt.Columns.Add("Phone", typeof(int));
            dt.Columns.Add("Email", typeof(string));

            foreach (SearchResult search in ds.FindOne())
            {
                DirectoryEntry de = search.GetDirectoryEntry();
                DataRow dr = dt.NewRow();
                dr["UserName"] = de.Properties["sAMAccountName"].Value.ToString();
                dr["Name"] = de.Properties["Name"].Value.ToString();
                dr["Phone"] = de.Properties["TelephoneNumber"].Value.ToString();
                dr["Email"] = de.Properties["Mail"].Value.ToString();
                dt.Rows.Add(dr);
            }
            return dt;
        }
   }
}
