AD object properties update (set to nothing)

[Guest]

Hi
How can we set a property of an AD object to null / nothing / ""

ie. to remove the existing value from the object's property, I have tried
using

String txt1;
entry.Properties["Street"].Value = txt1;

if txt1 is "", an error such as invalid attribute syntax will be thrown.

Any idea to do it?

TIA

I just got it, simply set it to null !? why can't it be ""?

It is just the way it works under the hood with LDAP. You can also use the
Clear method which is pretty straightforward.
