User-Defined Field Types:

None.

Notes:

To use this, get a byte array of the LDAP object (dnsNode)'s "dnsRecord" attribute, and call the static "Load" method.

Note there can be more than one value for the dnsRecord attribute in each LDAP object, it is an array. For example, there could be several IP addresses that correspond to this node.

The Load method is needed because there's no way (that I can find) to have Marshal automatically put the trailing bytes into the Buffer array. I have invented the "DNS_RPC_RECORD_HEADER" type so that I can use PtrToStructure to load all the constant-sized parts automatically.

There are more type constants that I'm not using; see the PDF.
