           Summary: System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry.Properties[].Val
                    ue returns only string valued attributes

If I bind to an Active Directory object and list its property types, they all
return "System.String". For example:

DirectoryEntry de = new DirectoryEntry("ldap://dc=foo,dc=com");

foreach(string s in de.Properties.PropertyNames)
    Console.WriteLine(string.Format("Property {0} is of type {1}", s, 
                      de.Properties[s].Value.GetType().ToString()));

THis is not correct. The attribute "objectSid", for example, should be of type
byte[].
