What does "not working" mean? Do you get an error message? If not then have you used the debugger to watch what happens during execution to determine what is not working?

See if this helps:

----------------Getting All Groups
   List retGroups = new List();
   SearchResultCollection results;
   DirectorySearcher srch = new DirectorySearcher(System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["LDAPPath"]);
   srch.Filter = "(objectClass=Group)";
   results = srch.FindAll();

   for (int x = 0 ; x< results.Count;x++)
   {
   retGroups.Add(results[x].GetDirectoryEntry().Name.Replace("CN=", string.Empty));
   }

   return retGroups;

// You can also include properties to load to your search object ex:
   search.PropertiesToLoad.Add("cn");
   search.PropertiesToLoad.Add("mail");
   search.PropertiesToLoad.Add("homephone");
   search.PropertiesToLoad.Add("mobile");

// Retrieving your property
(String)result.Properties["mail"][0];
