Why is System.Net not available in my add reference list?

Subject pretty much says it all. I'm using Visual Studio 2005 C# Express. I went to add a reference to System.Net and System.Net.Sockets, but they simply aren't there. I tried reinstalling/repairing the SDK, but to no avail. I can't find any reference to this problem by googling it. I'm completely confused as to why this namespace isn't present. All work is halted until this issue is solved, so any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

    OMG, I'm a retard. The example I was following said TCPClient, but it's TcpClient.

    Lesson learned... check spelling, then check case. :/

    That's right. The System.Net and System.Net.Sockets namespaces exist in System.dll.
