add user to group

I have the following code to remove a user from a group. How do you change this to add a user? Will this work fine if I call this in a loop that might call it 10-20 times fast?

Private Shared Sub RemoveUserFromGroup(userDn As String, groupDn As String)
      Dim proc As Process = Process.Start("dsmod", String.Format("group ""{0}"" -rmmbr ""{1}""", groupDn, userDn))
      proc.WaitForExit()
      If proc.ExitCode <> 0 Then
            Console.WriteLine("Could not remove user {0} from group {1}", userDn, groupDn)
      End If
End Sub

Private Shared Sub AddUserFromGroup(userDn As String, groupDn As String)
Dim proc As Process = Process.Start("dsmod", String.Format("group ""{0}"" -addmbr ""{1}""", groupDn, userDn))
proc.WaitForExit()
If proc.ExitCode <> 0 Then
Console.WriteLine("Could not remove user {0} from group {1}", userDn, groupDn)
End If
End Sub

the sub name should be AddUserToGroup...

here it is:

Private Shared Sub AddUserToGroup(userDn As String, groupDn As String)
      Dim proc As Process = Process.Start("dsmod", String.Format("group ""{0}"" -addmbr ""{1}""", groupDn, userDn))
      proc.WaitForExit()
      If proc.ExitCode <> 0 Then
            Console.WriteLine("Could not add user {0} to group {1}", userDn, groupDn)
      End If
End Sub

Open in new window

you can call it as many times as u want, just make sure to have the "proc.WaitForExit()" line in your loop.

Ohhh, perfect. Is there anyway to supress the command window so the user does not see it?
