Benefits of Using System.DirectoryServices

Benefits of using System.DirectoryServices include:

A design that is completely within common language runtime parameters. System.DirectoryServices leverages common language runtime features, such as garbage collection, custom indexer, and dictionaries (Hashtable). It also offers other common language runtime features such as automatic memory management, efficient deployment, an object-oriented framework, evidence-based security, and exception handling.
Consistent behavior with other .NET Framework technologies. Since System.DirectoryServices uses common language runtime features, a consistent and familiar programming model can be used for directory services programming.
Simplicity. System.DirectoryServices implements and consolidates several basic ADSI tasks to enable more efficient and effective application development.
