active directory - Is there a .NET class that can parse CN= strings out of LDAP?

Question

I've got a string that I'm fetching from LDAP for Active Directory group membership and I need to parse it to check if the user is a member of the AD group. Is there a class that can parse this for me?

Example:

CN=Foo Group Name,DC=mydomain,DC=com

Answer 1

If you don't want to add additional dependencies and just want to parse the string..

This type of string can easily be parsed just using string.Split. To get the CN values, would be something like..

string[] split = "CN=Foo Group Name,DC=mydomain,DC=com".Split(',');
List<string> cnValues = new List<string>();
foreach(string pair in split){
    string[] keyValue=pair.Split('=');
    if(keyValue[0]=="CN")
       cnValues.Add(keyValue[1]);
}
