DirectoryEntry.Guid throws COM exception

[mharris1984]

Hi,

I'm trying to access a Novell directory using .NET, but whenever I try to access the GUID of a DictionaryEntry instance it throws the following exception:

'System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException'
{"Exception from HRESULT: 0x8000500D"}

After some googling there appears to be some posts referring to the same problem, but no solutions. Many of the posts mention that the error is probably caused while attempting to convert the guid into a string format.

Has anybody else experienced this or have any suggestions about how I can get around it. I need the guid to key a database so it is important that I find a solution.

Many Thanks,
Martyn.
