I am trying to convert my VB.NET property to C# for my AD authentication. I keep getting errors but this is the VB.NET code.

VB.NET

Public ReadOnly Property CN() As String
        Get
            Return CType(_adUser.Item("cn").Value, String)
        End Get
    End Property

I converted it to this in C#

C#

public string CN
        {
            get {return (string)_adUser.Item["cn"];}
        }

but it throws an error..any ideas?

In answer to your question.
public ADUser _adUser;
_adUser is a class.

CType does more then a static cast; you'd want something more like:

public string CN
{
get
{
return _adUser.Item["cn"].Value.ToString();
}
}

What is _adUser ? Is "cn" a valid index? If so, try changing the line:

get {return (string)_adUser.Item["cn"];}

to

get {return _adUser.Item["cn"].ToString();}
