Using Visual Studio Code & Team Foundation Version Control (TFVC)

Recently we start working on a Angular 4 app but all other parts of the application (e.g. the backend stuff) were stored in a good old TFVC based repository (inside a Team Foundation Server 2015) .

HowTo: Get User Information & Group Memberships from Active Directory via C#

I had to find a way to access all group memberships from a given Active Directory user. The problem here is, that groups may contain other groups and I needed a list of “all” applied group memberships - directly or indirectly. The “fastest” solution (without querying each group) is to use the Token-Groups attribute, which already does this magic for us. This list should contain all ...
