I hope you aren't frustrated by the book being written in C# rather than
VB.NET. That rule was imposed by my coauthor and the publisher. All of the
code samples are re-written in VB.NET and posted on the website, so
hopefully that works for you.
For the most part, the actual VB and C# code aren't very different
(sometimes you just put a ";" at the end of the line :)), so hopefully
you'll be able to follow along with the gist of the C# in the book.
Someday I'd like to seriously tackle the .NET/scripting angle of DS
programming by tackling all this stuff from the PowerShell perspective. I
think there's a huge audience for that in the future. It will be
interesting to see how that works out as well, since the scripting world is
usually covered by other people (Joe, Robbie, Laura, etc.), but most of them
haven't done .NET yet. The theme of my talk at DEC was suggesting that all
of the DS programmers will eventually end up in the .NET world, as that's
where all of Microsoft's programming model investment is going. Joe
Richards will almost certainly be the last to go (unless he discovers how
cool PowerShell really is and becomes addicted).

Altering the subject a mite:
I've not yet purchased these books and so am not completely familiar
with the content...
Does anyone have a recommendation for AD programming using .NET?
VB is my personal poison of choice.
VBS would probably suffice for my anticipated needs but I do wish to get
more fully familiar with the .NET workings....
Thank you.
Richard

If you mean you purchased Active Directory Second Edition... Ebay it and
just start reading the Third Edition, I made considerable changes
through it and not just for new stuff. The security and schema chapters
and most all of the scripts got massive work done to them to correct
issues, etc.
Now if you mean you bought the AD Cookbook Second Edition, I would
actually recommend reading Active Directory Third Edition first, then
reading the cookbook as it will make more sense. Alternately, don't read
the cookbook and just treat it as a cookbook where when you need to do
something, you look up the recipe.

Cookbook is in the Second Edition now and that was done by Laura Hunter.

Subject: [ActiveDir] Active Directory Cookbooks...
Hi there,
I have already read and use the "Active Directory Cookbook for Windows
2003 and Windows 2000" and see there are 2nd and 3rd editions. Is there
anywhere on the net which lists the contents of each so I can have a
look before purchase?
Thanks in advance,
