AddFromFile

AddFromFile (Method of LDAPAttributeCollection)

Insert a new attribute into the directory using the contents of a file as the value.

Syntax

AddFromFile(AttributeName As String, Filename As String) As LDAPAttribute

Remarks

The AddFromFile method creates a new attribute. It uses the contents of a file to create the first value for this newly-created attribute. The contents of the file are treated as binary data, and therefore no UTF-8 character translation is performed. The entire contents of the specified file are loaded into memory when this method is called.

Example

Set pLDAP = CreateObject("LDAPClient.3")
Call pLDAP.Connect("ldapserver")
Set pEntries = pLDAP.Search("o=airius.com", "uid=bjensen")

' Add Bab's image to her entry
Call pEntries(0).Attributes.AddFromFile("jpegPhoto", "c:\BabsImage.jpg")
