In case anybody else needs it, here is a quick function i developed that will give the GUID plus a lot more.

		private void button3_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
		{
			DirectorySearcher ds = new DirectorySearcher();

			ds.SearchRoot = new DirectoryEntry(txtDirEntry.Text);	
			ds.Filter = "(samaccountname=" + txtAccountName.Text + ")";

			SearchResultCollection src = ds.FindAll();
		
			foreach (SearchResult sr in src)
			{ 

				ResultPropertyCollection myResultPropColl;
				myResultPropColl = sr.Properties;


				foreach(string strPropertyName in myResultPropColl.PropertyNames)
				{
					string strPropertyValue = ""; 

					foreach( Object objProp in myResultPropColl[strPropertyName])
					{
						if ( objProp is ICollection )
						{
							ICollection usrSID =(ICollection) objProp;
							foreach(object b in usrSID)
							{
								strPropertyValue = strPropertyValue + b.ToString(); 
							}
						}
						else if ( objProp is Guid || objProp is Int32 || objProp is String  )
						{
							strPropertyValue = objProp.ToString();
						}
						else
						{
							strPropertyValue = objProp.GetType().ToString();
						}
					}

					listBox1.Items.Add(strPropertyName + ": " + strPropertyValue);
				}
			}
		}

I don't have AD at home, so can't give exacts, but one can filter AD results in System.DirectoryServices (have excluded some lines of code above):

string adFilter = "(&(sAMAccountName={0})(objectClass=person))";
adFilter = string.Format(adFilter, txtAccountName.Text);
ds.Filter = adFilter;
ds.PropertiesToLoad.Add("<Guid property name>");

// One can then call ds.FindOne() as only one result should be returned.
