Did you also add a reference to these libraries in your project? Right click on your project and go to the Property Pages option. Under the References option you can Add both of these libraries.

I'm having the same problem. I can get System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement in a Web Page Project but the a Web Page that I'm working on doesn't recognize it even though I have the same reference and I'm getting the using System.DirectoryServices.ActiveDirectory
to work. There is no intellisense on AccountManagement. Can you bring it into a web page? I'm writing a system that tracks Acceptable Use Policies that kids sign up for to get an ID on the network. So, right now, I'm just querrying AD to get each student's
information once they've been added and placing in a table. But I'd like to have a page that resets all student passwords to our default so when the kids come back in August, they don't have to remember or have a campus tech reset they're password. We're using
a VB script that does that right now but you have to go in and change the user group each time you run it. It would be nice just to use a dropdown list for each group or a "Reset All" option and just press a button.
I have the following namespace defined in my asp.net c# (VS 2010) app but still get the above error. What am I doing wrong?
using System.DirectoryServices;
using System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement;
I had the same issue - even though it was working previously. The solution for me, was to make check the properties of the Reference(System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement) and make sure CopyLocal property was true

You might be using lower version of .NET Framework.
System.DirectoryServices Namespace applies to .NET 1.1 and above
BUT
System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement applies to .NET 4.0 and above
Thank you very much,
Please if my reply helped you.

You may also need to include, in addition to adding the DLL references and "using" statements, above, this code in your web.config:
<compilation debug="true"> <assemblies> <add assembly="System.DirectoryServices, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a"/> </assemblies> </compilation>Member

Right click on "Reference" and select "Add Reference"
In the left pane; select "Browse" and search for "System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement.dll" in your coomputer
If found, select and the issue should be resolved.

The using directive did it. Since I usually use the Web Page option in 2010, I'm unfamiliar with the Web Project solution. Thanks.
