Some namespaces not in Academic Edition?

Visual Studio 2005 Academic Edition(.NET 2.0.50727)

I am trying to monitor and change system services using the ServiceProcess namespace.

Code:

---

using System.ServiceProcess;

---

Is this missing from my version? Is there another way to monitor a system service? I want to check to see if a service is running or attempting to start and then stop it.

Thanks

right click references, add reference, click on the .net tab, scroll down to system.serviceprocess.dll, add it, recompile.

OMG! I just assumed all this time that I was missing stuff because I had the academic version. YOU ARE AMAZING!!!! THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LOL. the IDE just provides a way to write the code. the functionality is located in the framework which is outside the scope of the editor. the editor uses the .NET SDK. the .NET sdk is free and contains everything needed to do any type of application. you could create large scale applications using notepad and the free SDK (though it would take you a long time to do it most likely).
