How to convert SID to String in .net

Question

I would like to convert the SID\'s System.Byte[] type to a String.

My code:

string path = \"LDAP://DC=abc,DC=contoso,DC=com\";
DirectoryEntry entry = new         


        

Answer 1

Take a look at the SecurityIdentifier class. You can then do simple things like,

var sidInBytes = (byte[]) *somestuff*
var sid = new SecurityIdentifier(sidInBytes, 0);
// This gives you what you want
sid.ToString();
