Error using System.DirectoryServices

On my ASP.NET 2.0 website project on VS 2005, I am getting the following
error when building the solution:

“The type or namespace name 'ADSI' does not exist in the namespace
'myNameSpace' (are you missing an assembly reference?)”

I do have the following added to my web.config file:



The build was working ok before I added another website project to the
solution. I am using Visual SourceSafe 2005. I had to checkout the solution,
add the new website project to the Visual SourceSafe and check in the
solution.

Environment: Windows XP professional SP2, .NET Framework 2.0, VS 2005 SP1, C#

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks,
Nam

Re: Error using System.DirectoryServices

It sounds like you have a reference to something other than
System.DirectoryServices, as that assembly and namespace don't use the name
ADSI anywhere. Do you have an interop assembly for activeds.tlb or
something?

Re: Error using System.DirectoryServices

Joe,

Thank you for your response. You are correct. After reading your response, I
found out that our code is referencing to myNamespace.ADSI. I have a backup
copy of my website project. After I copied the backup copy of my project to
the working folder (we are using Visual SourceSafe), the solution compiled
successfully again. So, I am still not clear as to why the project was giving
the compile error mentioned in my original posting. I had checked that all
the references were there.
