Please suggest a Windows Object Picker C# wrapper

Question

I need to programmatically assign Windows and Active Directory users to the Window Authorization Manager (AzMan) roles via the Windows Object Picker. So I can invoke the "User and Group Permissions" window from my C# program.

Can anybody suggest a C# wrapper for the Windows Object Picker?

Here is custom dialog class DirectoryObjectDialog that wraps the COM directory object picker.

Sample usage;

var dlg = new DirectoryObjectDialog
{
    MultiSelect = true
};
dlg.AddScope(DirectoryScope.Computer, users: true, groups: true);
dlg.AddScope(DirectoryScope.Domain, users: true, groups: true);
if (dlg.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
{
    foreach (var sel in dlg.Selections)
        Console.WriteLine("{0}: {1}", sel.Principal.SamAccountName, sel.Principal.Sid);
}

Thanks for the response. I saw your project, but a little confused whether it's possible to use it in commercial applications. On the main page it refers to the GPL license, while in the logs I see a note that it was converted to LGPL. – Murat Korkmaz Dec 02 '14 at 14:59
To clarify, project doesn't mine. There is another one http://adui.codeplex.com/ if you want. Its licence is Ms-PL. – ziyasal Dec 02 '14 at 15:09
Thanks for the suggestions! Which one is better and more stable by your opinion? – Murat Korkmaz Dec 02 '14 at 15:18
You're welcome, You should check which one meet your needs. I think adui.codeplex.com looks stable. – ziyasal Dec 02 '14 at 16:53

I like nuget package Tulpep.ActiveDirectoryObjectPicker

Here is a sample https://github.com/Tulpep/Active-Directory-Object-Picker

DirectoryObjectPickerDialog picker = new DirectoryObjectPickerDialog()
{
    AllowedObjectTypes = ObjectTypes.Users | ObjectTypes.Groups | ObjectTypes.Computers,
    DefaultObjectTypes = ObjectTypes.Computers,
    AllowedLocations = Locations.All,
    DefaultLocations = Locations.JoinedDomain,
    MultiSelect = true,
    ShowAdvancedView = true
};
using (picker)
{
    if (picker.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
    {
        foreach (var sel in picker.SelectedObjects)
        {
            Console.WriteLine(sel.Name);
        }
    }
}
