DirectoryServices classes not being recognized

[aamirghanchi]

Hi,

I had .Net 1.1 app that worked fine. I recently migrated it to 2.0 but
am getting compilation errors, among which DirectoryServices classes
are not being recognized by the VS 2005 at build time. I can clearly
see the reference to System.DirectoryServices 2.0.0 GAC in the
reference list and there is no error where the Imports
System.DirectoryServices statement is.
Its listing errors all over for the classes under its namespace:

Any suggestions will be appreciated.

TIA.

Type 'ResultPropertyCollection' is not defined.
Type 'ResultPropertyValueCollection' is not defined.
Type 'DirectoryEntry' is not defined.
Type 'DirectorySearcher' is not defined.
Type 'SearchResult' is not defined.

Thanks Alexey, but like I said it is already there in the reference
list and I have tried removing and adding it back many times through
the solution you proposed.
thanks any way.

My apologies, I misread your post.

Looks strange then... Are you sure that the .NET version is correctly
configured in IIS?

yep, its ASP.net version 2.0.50727 as shown on the IIS6 manager
I am getting the compilation errors (while building solution) before
it even hits the IIS.

Well, I think I know what the problem is and it's not because of
DirectoryServices.

You have converted the project, and because of the "new compilation
model" some references could be broken

Issue 1: Code-behind class file (CB-CB) references
Issue 2: Stand-alone class file (SA-CB) references

Migrating to ASP.NET 2.0

I'd also recommend converting your Web Site Project to be ASP.NET Web
Application project. (You have to create new project and copy all the
classes and web forms)

Alexey, I have decided to converting it to Web Application Project.
thanks for the good leads. I will notify this usergroup of any
success.

thanks again.

SOLUTION:
Wierd thing happened but it solved the build error problem.
I re-converted the original 1.1 project to 2.0 in VS 2005 but this
time commented out the references to Crystaldecisions assemblies in
the web.config before I did the conversion. I don't know what does
CrystalDecisions has to do with the System.DirectoryServices but that
did the trick. I removed the ref to CrystalDecisions assemblies
because that was another set of errors I was getting during the build
time in addition to System.DirectoryServices. Now I have loads and
loads of warnings to deal with but thats another story
