Im new to programming in general, being a freshman in college, and Im having issues trying to use the ManagementObjectSearcher thats apart of the System.Managment. Everytime when I go to compile my program I will get this error : "Error<font class=Apple-tab-span style="white-spacere </font>1<font class=Apple-tab-span style="white-spacere </font>The type or namespace name ManagementObjectSearcher could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)<font class=Apple-tab-span style="white-spacere </font>C:UsersabellDocumentsVisual Studio 2008ProjectsTestTestProgram.cs<font class=Apple-tab-span style="white-spacere </font>8<font class=Apple-tab-span style="white-spacere </font>9<font class=Apple-tab-span style="white-spacere </font>Test"
This even comes up when I put in MSDNs example code:
