How to create object on extended schema
Hey hai, how r u.
We extended the Active Directory Schema as follow;
Functions (Structural class and it is a top class)
SubFunctionsOne (Structural class, derives from Functions)
ObjectOne (Structural class, derives from SubFunctionsOne)
ObjectTwo (--do--)
SubFunctionsTwo (Structural class, derives from Functions)
ObjectOne (Structural class, derives from SubFunctionsTwo)
ObjectTwo (--do--)
ObjectThree (--do--)
Basically we want to store application related data (which is not going to change in lifetime), in these classes. Here the problem is, how can I can i instantiate the class (creating object) of Functions and other classes.
I created these classes and reloaded that schema, but I can't able to see these classes programmatically (in C#). When I am displaying all the objects, down under my domain (DC=myDomain,DC=com). These classes are not visible. How can i see them programmatically and create objects based on these classes.
Please help, as it is very urgent.
Thanks in advance.

Have you tried to populate any of the classes & attributes with sample data to make sure that the schema update happened correctly?
Once you have populated a sample of each object class to include all of its attributes, check to see if you still have issues querying for the classes.

Hi f1shrman,
Thank you very much for your reply.
I can able to see the classes what I created using the path, LDAP://CN=Schema,CN=Configuration,DC=myDomain,DC=com. But how can i instantiate this class using C#, please help me.
Suppose if i want to create a new user, I will be using LDAP://CN=Users,DC=myDomain,DC=com path, and the code look like this,
DirectoryEntry dEntry = new DirectoryEntry(strPath);
DirectoryEntry dEntryChild = dEntry.Children.Add("CN=f1shrman", "user");
dEntryChild.Properties["givenname"].Add("testuser");
dEntryChild.Proper..............................
..................................................
dEntryChild.CommitChanges();
With above code a user is get created with name "f1shrman". Here we are using "CN=Users" and at "dEntry.Children.Add("CN=Tim", "user");", we are saying to user "user" class (which is already defined).
Now take the same example, here the problem is what to use at "CN=Users" place in my situation. Please help, I tried in different ways, but it is not working.
Waiting for your reply.

LDAP://CN=Users,DC=myDomain,DC=com path, and the code look like this,
DirectoryEntry dEntry = new DirectoryEntry(strPath);
DirectoryEntry dEntryChild = dEntry.Children.Add("CN=f1shrman", "user");
Now take the same example, here the problem is what to use at "CN=Users" place in my situation. Please help, I tried in different ways, but it is not working.
Try the following and let me know if it works.
Create a new organizationalUnit (OU) under dc=mydomain,dc=com
Change strpath to ou=<name of ou you created>,dc=mydomain,dc=com
Change dEntry.Children.Add("CN=f1shrman", "user"); to dEntry.Children.Add("CN=testClass", "ObjectOne");
Set all your manadatory attributes for ObjectOne class
