get ldap for employeeid in csharp

Here's an example code snippet that demonstrates how to query Active Directory and retrieve employeeid using LDAP in C# using DirectorySearcher class from System.DirectoryServices:


using System.DirectoryServices;

public static string GetEmployeeId(string username, string domain, string ldapPath) {
    string result = string.Empty;
    try {
        DirectoryEntry directoryEntry = new DirectoryEntry("LDAP://" + domain + "/" + ldapPath);
        DirectorySearcher searcher = new DirectorySearcher(directoryEntry);
        searcher.Filter = "(samAccountName=" + username + ")";
        searcher.PropertiesToLoad.Add("employeeID");
        SearchResult searchResult = searcher.FindOne();
        if(searchResult != null) {
            result = searchResult.Properties["employeeID"][0].ToString();
        }
    } catch(Exception ex) {
        //handle exception
    }
    return result;
}

You can pass in the username, domain and ldapPath parameters to the method to retrieve the employeeid for that specific user from the Active Directory.
