How the Sample Works
====================
The sample uses the specified command switch to chose between listing the
contents of the specified object or dumping the properties of the specified
object. When listing the contents of the specified object, the sample uses
the IADsContainer interface to enumerate the contents. The sample contains
optional code to filter the type of objects enumerated. When dumping the
properties of the specified object, the sample uses the IADs interface to
access schema to find the properties to dump.
