This is my first ever attempt at coding against AD, so bear with me...
Here's what I have:
public static void GetAllUsers()
{
PrincipalContext AD = new PrincipalContext(ContextType.Domain, serverName);
UserPrincipal u = new UserPrincipal(AD);
PrincipalSearcher search = new PrincipalSearcher(u);
foreach (UserPrincipal result in search.FindAll().OrderBy(x => x.DisplayName))
{
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(result.DisplayName))
{
Console.WriteLine(result.DisplayName);
}
}
Console.ReadLine();
}
When I run this I get back a list of objects. But what I get back is only a partial list. Some users are there, some are not.
Anyone see what I'm doing wrong?
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.

Are you only getting back the first 256 results?
c# - Can I get more than 1000 records from a PrincipalSearcher? - Stack Overflow[^]
PrincipalSearcher search = new PrincipalSearcher(u);
DirectorySearcher ds = search.GetUnderlyingSearcher() as DirectorySearcher;
if (ds != null) ds.PageSize = 0;
Also, you should really be wrapping the disposable objects in using blocks.

I'm trying to use only Alphanumeric characters an must use 4. No more or less.
The Code I'm using is below. If I remove the For Loop and can type Alphanumeric values in the textbox but I can seem to type only 4 characters. maxLenght says: cannot convert type in to bool. (Must be 4 characters). I appreciate your help.
public void AlphaNumericString()
{
string s = BacBox.Text;
int maxLenght = 4;
Regex r = new Regex("^[a-zA-Z0-9]*$");
if (r.IsMatch(s))
{
for (int i = 0; i = maxLenght; i++)
{
BacBox.Text = s;
}
}
else
{
MessageBox.Show("Enter 4 alphanumeric characters only");
}

The * in that RegEx means "any number of, including 0". It doesn't mean "exactly 4".
To get an exact 4 characters, you would have to use a RegEx pattern of "^[a-zA-Z0-9]{4}$".
You don't need that for loop at all.
As for the rest, I have no idea what this code is supposed to be doing. It's not named properly and doesn't return a value soooooo....
I would probably rename the method
public bool IsValidId(string text)
and have it return a true/false value that indicates if the passed in value is a valid Id number, according to your new RegEx pattern.

Don't repost the same question over and over again. It just duplicates work and doesn't allow for a collaborated answer.

A "TextBox" usually has a property to limit input length; and "may" have a mask for alphanumeric.
Depends on Windows Forms, WPF, 3rd party.
Easier than doing it yourself.

Was up against the notorious, apostrophe issue, when sending a command line, which included an apostrophe, to a Database.
So after an enormous amount of Google'ing, I see now that it is recommended procedure to use parameterized commands, to do the trapping for you.
So I did just that.
Rewrote my code with the parameterized commands.
Simply put, my code is designed to read all file names off of a drives root, and enter them into a Database.
As you can see in my code, I store all of the file names into an Array, and then retrieve them one by one using a, FOREACH.
All well and good, and it does work, Line 36,
Console.WriteLine(fi.Name); proves it, but, Line 31,
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@FileName", fi.Name); only grabs the very first filename, and then enters that first filename, as many times into the Database, as there are files on the root directory.
Why is Line 36, the Console Window line working perfectly, reflecting every single filename, but Line 31 only grabs the very first filename, and holds on to it?
static void Main(string[] args)
{
DriveInfo di = new DriveInfo(@"C:\");
string conString = "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=e:\\mydbtry.accdb";
OleDbConnection con = new OleDbConnection();
OleDbCommand cmd = new OleDbCommand();
con.ConnectionString = conString;
con.Open();
DirectoryInfo dirInfo = di.RootDirectory;
FileInfo[] fileNames = dirInfo.GetFiles("*.*");
foreach (FileInfo fi in fileNames)
{
cmd.CommandText = "Insert into Table1 (FileName) Values (@FileName)";
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@FileName", fi.Name);
cmd.Connection = con;
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
Console.WriteLine(fi.Name);
}
con.Close();
Console.WriteLine("Finished.");
Console.ReadKey();
}

You're continuously adding more parameters to the OleDbCommand.Parameters-collection when you only ever need a single one. The first one you add is being used for every command execution.
Store the parameter in a variable, add it to the parameters-collection only once and then modify its value instead in the loop.
Also, I would recommend you to use all your OleDb*-objects that are disposable, in a using-block:
using (OleDbConnection con = new OleDbConnection())
using (OleDbCommand cmd = new OleDbCommand())
{
}
That's the cleanest way to ensure you're not leaking resources. Goes for everything else that implements IDiposable as well, not only database-objects.
If the brain were so simple we could understand it, we would be so simple we couldn't. — Lyall Watson

Try something like:
cmd.Connection = con;
cmd.CommandText = "Insert into Table1 (FileName) Values (@FileName)";
SqlParameter param = new SqlParameter("@FileName", SqlDbType.NVarChar);
cmd.Parameters.Add(param);
foreach (FileInfo fi in fileNames)
{
param.Value = fi.Name;
if (cmd.ExecuteNonQuery() < 1)
{
}
Console.WriteLine(fi.Name);
}

Sascha, Richard,
You know, in C# there are at least twenty different ways to achieve the same goal.
And that's why you'll never see two programmers shaking hands in agreeance on the same approach.
Having said that, I want to thank both of you. Although coming from different directions, both of your assistance were correct. Thank you.

I have an application which displays a treeview based on data contained in a dedicated file.
I would like to get at the same time the name, index, ... of the current clicked treeview item in order to give additional details on click event.
I have been looking in different forums but all I've seen there are somewhat complicated approaches not that easy to adapt to my application.
Has anyone developed a project for this purpose?
Thanks in advance for your replies.
RV

Thank you for your reply Eddy.
Actually I had already tried this approach but I cannot get the "System.Windows.Forms" using directive not grayed. The event on clicked item method is likned to SelectedItemChanged PropertyThis might be for you a basic issue to deal with?
Consequently I get an error message about a missing definition for "SelectedNode" property.
Here is my method:
private void StateTreeView_SelectedItem(object sender, RoutedPropertyChangedEventArgs<object> e)
{
//SelectedItemName.Text = Convert.ToString(StateTreeView.SelectedItem);
SelectedItemName.Text = StateTreeView.SelectedNode;
}

If it is gray that means it is not used.

Not really; only difference is that it fires when the selected node changes, instead of a mouse-click.

..ah, I was assuming the Windows Forms treeview. Seems like you are using WPF.
You don't want to mix those two if you are a beginning programmer. I don't have much experience with WPF, but there's an article on exactly that specific subject here[^]

If you want the "name" of "SelectedNode", then it's:
StateTreeView.SelectedNode.Name
(Name is a "property" of SelectedNode).

I have opened a project of mine and promptly stumbled over an old sin: A virtual method call in a constructor. The project involves a DIY UI that runs in a 3D engine and the virtual method call is needed in the constructor of the controls.
It works like a charm, but calling a virtual method in a constructor may cause trouble and I want to get rid of the warning. If you want to take a look: Video clickbait[^]
The problem is that I can't find a way around that virtual method when initializing the properties of a control. I can only do that in the constructor because the view layout is loaded from XAML, like this:
<cLoginView Id="LoginView" Width="405" Height="83" DockStyle="ADAPT"
xmlns="clr-namespace:FoC.MemPraeUserModule.Presentation;assembly=MemPraeUserModule"
xmlns:foc="clr-namespace:FoC.Praetor4UI.Controls;assembly=Praetor4UI"
xmlns:fpd="clr-namespace:FoC.Praetor4UI.DataObjects;assembly=Praetor4UI"
xmlns:fpt="clr-namespace:FoC.Praetor4UI.Theme;assembly=Praetor4UI"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml">
<foc:cPraeLabel Id="LblLoginName" PositionX="5" PositionY="17" Width="75" Height="20" Text="Login Name:" />
<foc:cPraeTextbox Id="TbLoginName" PositionX="85" PositionY="15" Width="313" Height="25" />
<foc:cPraeImageButton Id="BtnListAccounts" Image="Button_128" PositionX="270" PositionY="45" Width="128" Height="22" Text="List My Accounts" LeftButtonClicked="BtnListAccounts_LeftButtonClicked"/>
<foc:cPraeListview Id="LvServers" Style="ServerList" PositionX="85" PositionY="85" Width="313" Height="150" />
<foc:cPraeLabel Id="LblPasswd" PositionX="5" PositionY="242" Width="75" Height="20" Text="Password:" />
<foc:cPraeTextbox Id="TbPasswd" PositionX="85" PositionY="240" Width="313" Height="25" PasswordCharacter="x" />
<foc:cPraeImageButton Id="BtnLogin" Image="Button_128" PositionX="137" PositionY="275" Width="128" Height="22" Text="Login" LeftButtonClicked="BtnLogin_LeftButtonClicked"/>
<foc:cPraeImageButton Id="BtnCancel" Image="Button_128" PositionX="270" PositionY="275" Width="128" Height="22" Text="Cancel" LeftButtonClicked="BtnCancel_LeftButtonClicked"/>
</cLoginView>
When a control is loaded this way, the constructor must do the following things before the properties are set by the XAML parser:
1) Set the default value for each property
2) Set the values from a control style, if one has been defined
3) Set the values from a named style, if one has been set for this control
The constructor of the base is simple enough:
public cPraeControl()
{
m_oUserInterface = null;
InitializeDefaultProperties();
ControlStyleChanged(cPraeUserInterface.CurrentTheme);
}
Calling InitializeDefaultProperties() ensures that the whole procedure is done for all properties of the topmost derived class, including the inherited ones. The derived controls have no own constructors that could interfere. That's why this works perfectly. I just don't see a way to get around calling InitializeDefaultProperties().
================================================================================
Edit:
I think I got it. It took only a few hours of refactoring, headscratching and debugging. The virtual method call (plus some hidden ones) are gone. Now every control has a proper constructor, like this:
public cPraeTextbox()
{
InitializeDefaultProperties();
SetStyle(GetControlStyle(cPraeUserInterface.CurrentTheme));
}
InitializeDefaultProperties() is now a normal private method that simply sets the default values for the properties, just as SetStyle() now only takes the for the class relevant values from the style object.
The magic happens in GetControlStyle(), which has the hard job of figuring out which styles have to be applied. Thank god for reflection! Since each class in the hierarchy now can find what it needs, there is no more need for constructing the controls top down (= no more virtual calls).
Now I have one control left that does not look right, but that will probably only take some more more debugging.
Thanks for the moral support. I knew you were all with me. Silently. 
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.

Hi everybody,
Could someone help me with the issue mentionned in the title?
I get NULLReference exception at line "EqtLevel2[] eqtlevel2 = EqtListDataBase.GetSetOfEqtLevel2(eqtlevel1[i]);" when running the code below.
Thank you for your answers.
RV
public TreeViewItem BuildTreeView ()
{
TreeViewItem TreeView = new TreeViewItem();
EqtLevel2[] eqtlevel2;
//EqtLevel3[] eqtlevel3;
EqtLevel1[] eqtlevel1 = EqtListDataBase.GetSetOfEqtLevel1(_eqtlist);
for (int i = 0; i < eqtlevel1.Length; i++)
{
TreeViewItem ParentItem = new TreeViewItem() { Header = eqtlevel1[i].EqtLevel1Name };
EqtLevel2[] eqtlevel2 = EqtListDataBase.GetSetOfEqtLevel2(eqtlevel1[i]);
for (int j = 0; j < eqtlevel2.Length; j++)
{
/*TreeViewItem Child2Item = new TreeViewItem() { Header =
eqtlevel2[j].EqtLevel2Name };
eqtlevel3 = EqtListDataBase.GetSetOfEqtLevel3(eqtlevel2[j]);
for (int k = 0; k < eqtlevel3.Length; k++)
{
TreeViewItem Child3Item = new TreeViewItem() { Header =
eqtlevel3[k].EqtLevel3Name};
Child2Item.Items.Add(Child3Item);
}
ParentItem.Items.Add(Child2Item);
*/
}
TreeView.Items.Add(ParentItem);
}
return TreeView;
}

Use your debugger. I'm going to guess that your index is out of range, and that there is no data at eqtlevel1[i].

Than you for your reply Eddy.
I will try to provide additional data concerning the issue I'm dealing with.
I have a root List called "eqtlist" which is composed of items called eqtlist1. Each eqtlist1 contains itself another List (eqtlist2). And each eqtlist 2 is composed of items called eqtlist3.
The idea is to build a treeview containing the details of that implementation. For that purpose, I need to access individually each item of that collection in order to get its name which will be displayed as an item of the treeview.
All this information is stored in a library called EqtListDataBase. My code allows me to access the first (eqtlist) and the second (eqtlevel1) levels. But when trying to go further, I get the NullReference error.
