    <p>You can use a <code>PrincipalSearcher</code> and a "query-by-example" principal to do your searching:</p> <pre><code>// create your domain context PrincipalContext ctx = new PrincipalContext(ContextType.Domain); // define a "query-by-example" principal - here, we search for a UserPrincipal // and with the first name (GivenName) of "Bruce" UserPrincipal qbeUser = new UserPrincipal(ctx); qbeUser.GivenName = "Bruce"; // create your principal searcher passing in the QBE principal PrincipalSearcher srch = new PrincipalSearcher(qbeUser); // find all matches foreach(var found in srch.FindAll()) { // do whatever here - "found" is of type "Principal" - it could be user, group, computer..... } </code></pre> <p>If you haven't already - absolutely read the MSDN article <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/cc135979.aspx" rel="noreferrer">Managing Directory Security Principals in the .NET Framework 3.5</a> which shows nicely how to make the best use of the new features in <code>System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement</code></p> <p><strong>Update:</strong></p> <p>Of course, depending on your need, you might want to specify other properties on that "query-by-example" user principal you create:</p> <ul> <li><code>Surname</code> (or last name)</li> <li><code>DisplayName</code> (typically: first name + space + last name)</li> <li><code>SAM Account Name</code> - your Windows/AD account name</li> <li><code>User Principal Name</code> - your "username@yourcompany.com" style name</li> </ul> <p>You can specify any of the properties on the <code>UserPrincipal</code> and use those as "query-by-example" for your <code>PrincipalSearcher</code>.</p>

    1. COhe wanted to search by full name so you need to set the UserPrincipal.Surname = "Wayne"; as well.

    2. CO@John P: in the title of the post, it clearly says "first name" .... but you're right - if you want to search by "surname" (last name), you'd need the `.Surname` property instead. You could also search by `DisplayName` (first + last name) or others - the mechanics are the same for each of those.

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.
