  Hi Ravindranath

  Using below code you can get User Information detail from AD

  using System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement;
  using System.DirectoryServices;

  using (var domainContext = new PrincipalContext(ContextType.Domain, "YourDomain.com", "DC=YourDomain,DC=com"))
                      {
                              using (var foundUser = UserPrincipal.FindByIdentity(domainContext, System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement.IdentityType.SamAccountName, "<UserLoginName>"))
                              {
                                  if (foundUser != null)
                                  {
                                      try
                                      {
                                          DirectoryEntry directoryEntry = foundUser.GetUnderlyingObject() as DirectoryEntry;
                                          string strdepartment = directoryEntry.Properties["department"].Value.ToString();
                                          string strcompany = directoryEntry.Properties["company"].Value.ToString();
                                       //many details
                                      }
                                      catch (Exception ex)
                                      {
                                          Console.WriteLine(ex.Message);
                                      }
                                  }
                              }
                          }

  Hi Ravindra,

  Try this: http://www.sharepointpills.com/2011/09/check-if-sharepoint-user-is-member-of.html

  protected void CurrentUserIsMemberOfGroup(string groupName)  
  {  
      string userLogin = SPContext.Current.Web.CurrentUser.LoginName;  
      // To get the right context, run with elevated privileges  
      SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges(delegate()   
      {  
          var principalContext = new PrincipalContext(ContextType.Domain);  
          var userPrincipal = UserPrincipal.FindByIdentity(principalContext, System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement.IdentityType.SamAccountName, userLogin);  
  	if (userPrincipal != null)
                                  {
                                          DirectoryEntry directoryEntry = userPrincipal.GetUnderlyingObject() as DirectoryEntry;
                                          string strdepartment = directoryEntry.Properties["department"].Value.ToString();
                                          string strcompany = directoryEntry.Properties["company"].Value.ToString();
                                       //You can pull required details from active directory.
                                  }
           
      });  
  }

  Please check whether below code help you or not:

  PrincipalContext PrincipalContext1 = new PrincipalContext(ContextType.Domain, stringDomainKey,"Any AD UserName to get to read ad details","Password of User");

  UserPrincipal UserPrincipal1 = new UserPrincipal(PrincipalContext1);

  PrincipalSearcher search = new PrincipalSearcher(UserPrincipal1);

  //UserName Name  of user you  want to search from AD.

  IEnumerable<System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement.Principal> collsearch = search.FindAll().Where(a => a.SamAccountName != null && a.DisplayName != null).Where(a => a.SamAccountName.ToUpper().Contains(UserName.ToUpper()) || a.DisplayName.ToUpper().Contains(UserName.ToUpper()));

  foreach (UserPrincipal result in collsearch)

  {

  User User1 = new User( result.SamAccountName, result.DisplayName,

  result.Name, result.GivenName, result.Surname,

  result.Description, result.Enabled, result.LastLogon);

  }
