HOWTO: Build the ADSI DsBrowse Visual Basic Sample Application

• Microsoft Active Directory Service Interfaces, versions 2.0, 2.5
• Microsoft Visual Basic Enterprise Edition for Windows, version 5.0

SUMMARY

The DsBrowse Visual Basic sample in the Platform SDK Distributed Services Component's Active Directory Service Interfaces (ADSI) samples does not have a .vbp (project) file. You have to create a new project file to build or use this sample.

MORE INFORMATION

Do the following to create a new project file:

1. Create a new standard EXE project.



2. Remove form1.frm from the project.



3. Under Project References, select Active DS type Library.



4. Under the Project Components, select Microsoft Windows Common Controls 5.0.



5. Save the project as dsbrowse.vbp in the directory where the rest of the files are located.



6. Use the Project AddForms to add main.frm and property.frm. You can safely ignore the warning messages about converting from a previous version.



7. Use the Project AddModules to add vbads.bas.



8. Use the Project AddFiles to add dsvw.res from the directory where the dsbrowse files are located.



9. Change the project properties Startup object to frmBrowseTree.
