I'm writing code to connect to my Active Directory server using LDAP. I can connect using

LDAP://celtestdomdc1.celtestdom.local

but I can't connect using

LDAP://celtestdomdc1.celtestdom.local/CN=Users;DC=celtestdom

Am I using the wrong syntax or something?

Your LDAP string is wrong - use:

LDAP://celtestdomdc1.celtestdom.local/CN=Users,DC=celtestdom,DC=local

or even this (server-less binding - goes to the default DC)

LDAP://CN=Users,DC=celtestdom,DC=local

First, the parts need to be separated by comma (,) not semicolon - and second, you need to use the DC=.... for all DNS-parts of your domain.

<shameless plug>
Also you might want to look at my ADSI browser called Beavertail which is written in C# and 100% free and open-source. It will show you what your domain tree looks like and what the valid LDAP paths are. </shameless plug>
