I have a problem regarding the Active Directory classes in C#. At one moment in my program, I am trying to get the current Domain the user is logged in using the following command: <pre><code>Domain.GetCurrentDomain(); </code></pre> Most of the times, it works. But when executing from a wireless laptop, it gives me the following error: <pre><code>System.DirectoryServices.ActiveDirectory.ActiveDirectoryServerDownException: The server is not operational. Name: "DOMAIN.ca" ---> System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException: The server is not operational. at System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry.Bind(Boolean throwIfFail) at System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry.Bind() at System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry.get_AdsObject() at System.DirectoryServices.PropertyValueCollection.PopulateList() at System.DirectoryServices.PropertyValueCollection..ctor(DirectoryEntry entry, String propertyName) at System.DirectoryServices.PropertyCollection.get_Item(String propertyName) at System.DirectoryServices.ActiveDirectory.PropertyManager.GetPropertyValue(DirectoryContext context, DirectoryEntry directoryEntry, String propertyName) --- End of inner exception stack trace --- at System.DirectoryServices.ActiveDirectory.PropertyManager.GetPropertyValue(DirectoryContext context, DirectoryEntry directoryEntry, String propertyName) at System.DirectoryServices.ActiveDirectory.Domain.GetDomain(DirectoryContext context) at System.DirectoryServices.ActiveDirectory.Domain.GetCurrentDomain() at ADT.ADTools.ComputerIsInDomain() </code></pre> In my particular case, this piece of code should work on any account logged in an Active Directory account, regardless of the computer it's being ran on or if the computer is connected to the domain using wireless or wired connection. Does anyone of you knows the answer to that problem or any workarounds I could do to make it work?

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
