VB.Net, DirectoryServices, LDAP: Reading the GUID of the User.

[Barry den Hertog]

When I connect to a Novell LDAP server, and I'm trying to read the
userinformation, everything is going ok, except when I'm reading the GUID
property from the Novell user.

This is the code I'm using:

Dim objNDSEntries As New DirectoryEntry()
Dim objNDSEntry As DirectoryEntry

objNDSEntries.Path = "LDAP://" & txtServer.Text & "/" &
txtContext.Text

If txtUsername.Text <> "" Then
objNDSEntries.Username = txtUsername.Text
End If
If txtPassword.Text <> "" Then
objNDSEntries.Password = txtPassword.Text
End If

Try
For Each objNDSEntry In objNDSEntries.Children

Select Case objNDSEntry.SchemaClassName
Case "inetOrgPerson"
'..... doing something with the userinformation here

msgbox(objNDSEntry.NativeGUID.ToString)
End Select
Next
End Try

When executing the line:
msgbox(objNDSEntry.NativeGUID.ToString)

I'm receiving the following error message

System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x8000500D): Exception from
HRESULT: 0x8000500D.
at System.DirectoryServices.Interop.IAds.get_GUID()
at System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry.get_NativeGuid()
at GetWindowsUsers.Form1.Button1_Click(Object sender, EventArgs e) in
....

Does anyone know how to get the unique GUID from a Novell User in VB.net??

Thanx
