Windows mobile C# Validate a username and password against Active Directory?

Question

i try to validate the username und password against Active Director from a Windows Mobile devive. On XP I use this:

    using System.Security;
    using System.DirectoryServices;
    using System.DirectoryServices.ActiveDirectory;
    ...
    DirectoryEntry entry = new DirectoryEntry(srvr, usr, pwd);
            object nativeObject = entry.NativeObject;
    ...

but these are not available in Windows Mobile.

Is there a way to do this in Windows Mobile?

Thanks

The .NET Compact Framework doesn't support LDAP (therefore Active Directory Authentication).

You can use P/invoke to call the native methods from .Net though. An example on how to do it via C++ is provided in the link below.
