No, I'm more looking for architecture tips, but there isn't a .Net
architecture group that I'm aware of.

I'm fine with storing my widgets in SQL, that's what it's for. My
question more specifically, is how can I integrate my user directory
with SQL, or do I need to handle that myself?
IOW, is there a native way to use the results of a search on an active
directory against SQL or do I need to write a wrapper to do all that
for me?
If not then you end up posting delimited strings or XML to SQL to
represent a list of users and that's something I want to avoid if
possible. I suppose I could use a template query and include the
results of my ad search in the template, but I detect the first whiffs
of CodeSmell.
Anyone know anything about returning XML from an active directory?

I've heard vague rumblings about AzMan. I'll have another look at that
and see what occurs to me.
Cheers
