Body
Sometimes the architecture in active directory is very complicated. There are many groups in my AD and they are hierarchical. Take this for example: Group A is the top group, it has a child Group B, and Group B also has a child C. C is the leaf node and it is a person in AD. Is there an approach to identify C is a member of Group A. I can do this by enumerating the "memberof" property recursively in AD. But is there a more efficient mechanism to do that work? I need to do that in .NET with C#. Any help will be appreciated.

Guidance

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.
