You have to add a reference to everything that's not in mscorlib.dll or
automatically referenced when you create a new project of a certain type (eg
Windows App will reference the dll with System.Windows.Forms).
There are several dlls because it would be inefficient to load and init a
load of stuff that you aren't going to use.
As I recall the documentation now tells you the name of the defining dll for
every class etc.
One reason why there are several dlls is to allow finer control of
versioning.
(Another reason for separate dlls is for separate assemblies because
otherwise the scope of 'internal' would be too large - I'm not a fan of
internal)

Fady,
You have to set a hard reference in the project to the actual
System.Managment.dll assembly, its not standard in machine.config.
Hope that helps!
