Convert DirectoryEntry to PrincipalContext

Question

I have C# code that's creating a DirectoryEntry object like so:

new DirectoryEntry("GC://DC=corp,DC=mydomain,DC=com");

and then I can use the normal searching routines just fine. Now I want to convert this code to use the newer PrincipalContext methods from .NET 3.5.

I can't figure out what to pass the constructor though to make a connection. How do I convert the above string into something that works with PrincipalContext?

Answer 1

var pcontext = new PrincipalContext(ContextType.Domain, "GC://DC=corp,DC=mydomain,DC=com");
