How Can I access extension attributes with WinNT?

Question

I am trying to make a web application that gives the user the privilege to edit a certain extension attribute in his AD account. WinNT ("WinNT://Domain/Username,user") was chosen because it allows a losely coupled access to Active Directory objects without the need to specify a domain controller or a fully qualified domain name. The connection was successful but i wasn't able to retrieve the extension attribute "extension_attribute_10".

Will WinNT be able to access the extension attribute ? if not is there any work arounds ?

You need to specify which attributes you want to retrieve in your DirectoryServices query.
