SYMPTOM(s):
Referring to .NET objects in the System.DirectoryService.* namespace results in error 12886 or 5638 depending on syntax used
Invalid datatype specified: <type>. Specify a datatype such as 'character' or the name of a class. (5638)
Could not find class or interface . (12886)
FACT(s) (Environment):
OpenEdge 10.2x
Windows
CAUSE:
The client only loads the following .NET standard assemblies automatically:
- mscoree.dll
- System.Windows.Forms
- System.Drawing
The System.DirectoryService assemblies are not included in these libraries.
FIX:
Add the System.DirectoryService assembly to the local assemblies.xml file
