Is there any performance advantage to using DirectorySearcher over SearchRequest for LDAP queries.
- by WayneC
I understand that System.DirectoryServices is a "layer above" System.DirectoryServices.Protocols and abstracts some of the complexity.
Are there any other advantages, performance or otherwise, to using System.DirectoryServices.DirectorySearcher vs. System.DirectoryServices.Protocols.SearchRequest for LDAP queries from .NET.
What criteria would cause you to use one approach over the other?
