I’m using the code here : ASP.NET How to get List of Groups in Active Directory

Specifically :

using System.DirectoryServices;

DirectoryEntry objADAM = default(DirectoryEntry); //compiler error!

Problem: compiler says that it doesn’t know what DirectoryEntry is.

I tried to add it to my web.config:

      <assemblies>
          <!-- ... -->
          <add assembly="System.DirectoryServices, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=B03F5F7F11D50A3A"/>
      </assemblies>

But it didn’t seem to help so I tried to add a reference:

Someone suggested setting Copy Local = True but that didn’t help either.

I noticed that I don’t see a reference for System.DirectoryServices – only System.DirectoryServices.Accountmanagement

enter image description here

Can anyone help me get this code to compile? I’m not sure what to try next.

    Take the .net 3.5 filter off in the Add Reference dialog, and then put a reference in your project to:

    System.DirectoryServices, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a

    You can take the filter off by changing you project setting : http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb398202.aspx
