It's possible. Look for System.DirectoryServices namespace. You can use older Provider approach too if you just want to read data. The situation with AD is very personal and depends on what you need in your case.
I agree... I've looked at all kinds of different systems and their support for AD and LDAP. Most all methods are sort of "sync hacks"... some work well, some are just frustrating. It's a complex story.
My least favorite system probably has the best AD support I've seen: Sharepoint. AD works extremely well with Sharepoint sites and all pages have excellent claims and permissions systems. That's almost exactly the only good thing I can say about Sharepoint.
All that being said, I really would like to improve the LDAP story with YAF.NET. At least have a "Startkit" for it -- honestly I haven't even been able to get it working.
