Get Description of a User using ADSI

Question

I'm not able to retrieve the Description of a user using ADSI. I'm trying user.Get("description").ToString() on IADsUser

I get the error, The 'description' property cannot be found in the cache. Is there a different method I need to use to get Description?

Comments

Nevermind, the user I was testing with did not have any Description. That's why I was getting the error. It works fine for a user who has a Description

Hello,

To avoid getting errors for users who don't have a description, it is recommended to use the try...catch structure when getting properties:

try
{
   [string]user.Get("description");
}
catch
{
   Console.WriteLine("Description is empty");
}
