    <p>I've recently started learning the WCF Framework and I have an Active Directory Helper class/library that I've created to house my code for interacting with Active Directory. I'm not sure if I'm reinventing the wheel trying to do this but it seems like it'd be a better implementation to run this Active Directory Helper library as a WCF service within my network and reference that service from any internal application.</p> <p>My question is, is this something that would be a worthwhile endeavor, is what I'm doing redundant, or is there something else better out there that would already do what I'm looking to implement?</p> <p>I've found this article in a Google search on this topic:<br /> <a href="http://blog.waleedmohamed.net/2009/12/create-active-directory-service-using.html" rel="nofollow">http://blog.waleedmohamed.net/2009/12/create-active-directory-service-using.html</a><br /> but it wasn't very intuitive for me to follow along and I don't like the idea of putting domain credentials for something in any config file. Other than that there doesn't seem to be a lot of information on the topic.</p> <p><strong>Update</strong><br /> The AD Helper library I've developed utilizes the System.DirectoryServices namespace and implements things like:<br /> Instantiate users in ADAM: http://www.koders.com/csharp/fidCD7765F2E9C23683407CEFAFAFB68D3157857BFB.aspx?s=cdef:%22Adam%22#L18<br /> Recursively get all users in a Security Group: http://www.volumeracing.com/blog/?p=129<br /> etc...<br /> My goal is to implement these things as a WCF service over NetTcp so instead of including this AD Helper dll in every project that would want to do these things as well, I can just have my projects call the WCF service. Then if I ever needed to add or update the AD Helper dll, I can do so without having to update all my projects that implement the AD Helper dll.</p>

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.
