[Mono-devel-list] System.DirectoryServices exception when using OpenLDAP for Win32

[Rafael Teixeira]

Hi Andres,

Seems like you are getting some LDAP-exception, but it is masked by
another one because probably it can't get the exception text resource
for your current culture (sp-ES ?). Can you try forcing your current
culture to en-US in the program, to test that hipothesis?

Just guessing from the stack trace,

Regards,

"Eu poderia suportar, embora não sem dor, que tivessem
ido todos os meus amores, mas enlouqueceria se perdesse
todos os meus amigos!
A alguns deles não procuro, basta-me saber que eles existem.
Esta mera condição me encoraja a seguir em frente pela vida....
mas é delicioso que eu saiba e sinta que os adoro,  
embora não declare e não os procure sempre".
        Vinicius de Moraes - O "Poetinha"
My bad translation:
"I could survive, not without pain, that all my lovers
would disappear, but would be driven crazy if 
I had lost all my friends!
Some I don't even have to reach, I just need to know that they exist.
This mere condition makes me brave enough to go ahead with my life...
but it is sweet that I know and feel that I love them,
even if I don't state it openly and reach for them always."
        Vinicius de Moraes - Brazilian Poet
