No, Gandalf went to Dol Guldur to find out the Necromancer's true identity and found the White Council's worst fear true.
Quote:
'"Whatever were you doing there?" asked Thorin with a shudder, and all the dwarves shivered.
"Never you mind. I was finding things out, as usual; and a nasty dangerous business it was. Even I, Gandalf, only just escaped. I tried to save your father, but it was too late. He was witless and wandering, and had forgotten almost everything except the map and the key."'

The story is, if I'm correct, also mentioned in UT, but I haven't got the time to search for that now.
