yasirrazza - You'll have to use the System.DirectoryServices namespace, if I'm not mistaken. Remember to add the reference to your project.

Google returned this example code:

public string CreateADSUser(string username, string password, string homedir)
  {
      String RootDSE;
 
      try
      {
        if (!Directory.Exists(homedir))
          Directory.CreateDirectory(homedir);
 
        DirectorySearcher DSESearcher = new DirectorySearcher();
        RootDSE = DSESearcher.SearchRoot.Path;
 
        RootDSE = RootDSE.Insert(7, "CN=Users,");
 
        DirectoryEntry myDE = new DirectoryEntry(RootDSE);
        DirectoryEntries myEntries = myDE.Children;
 
        DirectoryEntry myDirectoryEntry = myEntries.Add("CN=" + username, "user");
        myDirectoryEntry.Properties["userPrincipalName"].Value = username;
        myDirectoryEntry.Properties["name"].Value = username;
        myDirectoryEntry.Properties["Password"].Value = password;
        myDirectoryEntry.Properties["samAccountName"].Value = username;
        myDirectoryEntry.Properties["FullName"].Value = username;
        myDirectoryEntry.Properties["AccountDisabled"].Value = 0;
        myDirectoryEntry.Properties["PasswordRequired"].Value = 1;
        myDirectoryEntry.Properties["HomeDirectory"].Value = homedir;
 
        // Permanent Password?
        myDirectoryEntry.Properties["permpass"].Value = 1;
        myDirectoryEntry.CommitChanges();
 
        DSESearcher.Dispose();
        myDirectoryEntry.Dispose();
 
        return "Worked!";
      }
      catch (Exception ex)
      {
        return ex.Message;
      }
  }
