Answer 1

If you just need to find out if user is enabled or disable you can do it a bit simpler with the following:

PrincipalContext context = new PrincipalContext(ContextType.Domain);
UserPrincipal user = UserPrincipal.FindByIdentity(context, IdentityType.SamAccountName, searchTextBox.Text.Trim());

if(user.Enabled == true) MessageBox.Show("Account enabled!");
else MessageBox.Show("Account disabled!");
