What exactly do you mean? If you mean your site needs to support Windows Authentication that is built-in and easy to do.

Or, do you mean you'll need to run LDAP queries against AD for various reasons?

You'll use the System.DirectoryServices namespace, https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.directoryservices(v=vs.110).aspx[^]

Here is a good article on it: Querying Active Directory using .NET classes and LDAP queries[^]

Also, you can just google for c# ldap examples and find lots more.
