  VB.NET: Type 'System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement.PrincipalContext' is not defined

  Nov 09, 2012 11:33 PM|LINK

  I'm struggling to work with System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement. All the tutorials I read suggest that my code below should work. This is not happening in Visual Studio (so it's not a reference issue--this is happening when I run the script from IIS 7). The web site is configured to use the v4.0 framework.

  In web.config:

  <add assembly="System.DirectoryServices, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=B03F5F7F11D50A3A" />

  and

  <add namespace="System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement" />

  In my ASP.NET file:

  Dim ctx As PrincipalContext = New PrincipalContext(ContextType.Domain, "server_name", "...ldap_path...")

  I'm getting the error BC30002: Type 'PrincipalContext' is not defined

  Why?
