How to get a System.__ComObject value from Active Directory in C#

Question

After a long period of search I decide to ask my own question about my problem.

I try to get the value of a Property in Active Directory, but I always get a System.__ComObject.

correspondance += compte.Properties["ENTPersonDateNaissance"][0];

I have tried to use :

 Microsoft.VisualBasic.Information.TypeName(compte.Properties["ENTPersonDateNaissance"]

The result is PropertyValueCollection

But I don't know how to get the value?

Can you share what type of values you are expecting from the property? It's because the property value is represented using the ADSI IADsLargeInteger COM interface. — Vikram Singh Saini, Apr 23 '15 at 12:01
What does this property represent? I cant find it in the documentation — C0d1ngJammer, Apr 23 '15 at 12:02

In fact, the variable "compte" is of type DirectoryEntry, I switched it to SearchResult, and now I can access it value with :

compte.Properties["ENTPersonDateNaissance"][0].ToString()

I hope it can help.

My object "compte" was a DirectoryEntry and I don't figure out but when I use the SearchResult instead of the SerarchResult.GetDirectoryEntry I can access the value that I want to get. Hope this can help – MeTaLiKiD May 01 '16 at 20:49
