Loop through all AD properties

Hi,
Can anybody please tell me (or point me to documentation on) how to loop
through all AD properties of a user.
The code I have so far is below.
Now if I know the property name I can retrieve it, for eample to retrieve
"DisplayName"
I would just say.
de.Properties["DisplayName"].Value
so what I would like is just a display of all properties for a user,
something like this
DisplayName
Mail
Title
sAMAccountName
GivenName
it would also be nice to know what type a particular object is, for example
most properties are strings however I believe some properties are "C stucts"
cause they contain more than a single string although just to start I'd be
happy just to get the property names.
any help is appreciated
cheers
martin.

foreach(System.DirectoryServices.SearchResult resEnt in
mySearcher.FindAll())

System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry de=resEnt.GetDirectoryEntry();
//would like to get all properties (property name) here perhaps in a
foreach loop
foreach (DirectoryEntry child in de.Children)
{
Console.WriteLine(child.Name);
}
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Console.WriteLine("ERROR ERROR ERROR " + ex.Message);
}
}
