Question Equivalent of "obj.PutEx ADS"

[stubar]

Hello
My question concerns a crossover of VBSCRIPT to DotNet, but here goes

I have a project in VB.NET concerning users in AD. Basically they are disabled but need to be enabled again. This means clearing the AUTHORIG property.

If I was doing it in VBSCRIPT i would simply use obj.PutEx ADS_PROPERTY_CLEAR, "authorig", 0 but I can't find the equivalent in DotNet

I can set it, as below, but can't clear it. Any advice?

Dim dey As DirectoryEntry = New DirectoryEntry("LDAP://.... Blah")
Dim authorig As PropertyValueCollection = dey.Properties("authorig"
authorig = dey.Properties("authorig")
Dim colarray() As Object = {"DistinginguishedName"}
authorig.Value = colarray
dey.CommitChanges()

The vb.net equivalent would be:

obj.PutEx(ADS_PROPERTY_CLEAR, "authorig", 0)

Reply: Equivalent of "obj.PutEx ADS" in VB.NET

Hello
Thanks for the quick reply but that's the vbscript code
obj.PutEx ADS_PROPERTY_CLEAR, "authorig", 0


I need the .NET version
Something like:
Dim colarray() As Object = {0}
But this doesn't work!

In AD if you look in "Exchange General" > "Delivery Restrictions" > "Message Restrictions" There is a checkbox for 'authenticated users' and a radio button for 'From Everyone'. It's this radio button that I need enabled.


Thanks for your time

I ask a question then find the answer myself!

Dim colarray() As Object = {}

This works.
Something must have jarred the subconcious in my last reply.

What I gave you was the VB.NET syntax that was equivalent to obj.PutEx ADS_PROPERTY_CLEAR, "authorig", 0. Notice the parenthesis.

If you need to declare an empty array of object you can use:

Dim colarray(-1) As Object

Or

Dim colarray() As Object = {}

Or the verbose version

Dim colarray() As Object = New Object() {}

You and I agree on option 2 )
