You talk to Active Directory via LDAP (generally with
System.DirectoryServices using .NET), so the answer is likely to be both.
The basic idea would be to use the DirectorySearcher component to search
Active Directory based on the short name (probably the samAccountName
attribute) and return the DisplayName or whatever other attribute actually
has the full name in your directory.
There are some nice samples in MSDN and some good technotes on S.DS in
ASP.NET:
