3.System.Byte[] And System.__ComObject in AD LDAP Browser

Hello,

 I have a small issue with some of the information returned in an LDAP 
browser. On certain attributes it returns either System.Byte[] And 
System.__ComObject

 I suspect this is a result of the data held. For example i know that 
PwdLastSet attrib attrib is stored as  Int64 values. How do i determine what 
System.Byte[] And System.__ComObject are??

 A little research has yielded the following:

If you use the DirectorySearcher, it marshals AD INTEGER8 types to .NET 
Int64 automatically, so no work needs to be done. This is by far the easiest 
way.

If you use the DirectoryEntry, it marshals the value as an ADSI 
IADsLargeInteger type, which at runtime is a System.__ComObject. This is 
annoying, but you can get the value with a little interop and some data 
munging. This works for me:

dim entry as new DirectoryEntry("LDAP://yourdn here")
dim pwd as object = entry.Properties("pwdLastSet").Value
dim pwdDate as DateTime
pwdDate = DateTime.FromFileTimeUtc(GetInt64FromLargeInteger( pwd))

Function GetInt64FromLargeInteger(byval largeInteger as Object) as Int64

dim low as int32
dim high as int32
dim valBytes(7) as byte

dim longInt as IADsLargeInteger = Ctype(largeInteger, IADsLargeInteger)
low = longInt.LowPart
high = longInt.HighPart

BitConverter.GetBytes(low).CopyTo(valBytes, 0)
BitConverter.GetBytes(high).CopyTo(valBytes, 4)

Return BitConverter.ToInt64(valBytes, 0)

End Function


<ComImport(), Guid("9068270b-0939-11D1-8be1-00c04fd8d503"),
InterfaceTypeAttribute(ComInterfaceType.InterfaceI sDual)> _
public interface IADsLargeInteger
property HighPart as int32
property LowPart as int32
end interface

Note that you can also get the high and low values via reflection and late 
binding or by importing the activeds.dll COM object into .NET.

 Qn: I am new to Vb.net and still learning. How can i incorporate the above 
to return what i need????

MANY MANY THANKS

5.TREE VIEW DEFAULT NODE CHECK IF ANY ONE CHECK

hi all ,

i m trying to make such a tree view which specify some
folder structure  for installation

i mean there is some folders mandatory. This is installation software.
is based upon user choice, what he will check only
those folders will be install not others.

A--|
   |-A1
   |-A2
   |-A3
   |-A4

B--|
   |-B1
   |-B2
   |-B3
   |-B4
C--|
   |-C1
   |-C2
   |-C3
   |-C4

suppose all 2's mean A2,B2,C2 are mandatory mean they should install
in theire respective field like A ,B , C installtion.

at start we are not showing any check mark with mandatory folder

but if user chek A1 then A2 should be automatic checked at that time
(bcoz its mandatory
)same concept
if user uncheck A1 then A2 unchecked bcoz he doesnt want to install
any part of folder A.

one more example when he check
B3 then B2 will automatic chek(mandatory folder) but since user
chechked
 B3 so now
he cant unchek B2 untill he unchecks B3.

suppose he cheks B3 then B2 must cheked now he can check any number of
folder here.like B4 and B1 also but
conclusion is that if any node  checked apart from mandatory node
then mandatory will be checked otherwise not

hope u got my problem .. can anyone suggest me some idea or code
for any help i would like to thanks in advance.
