I think you have a simple typo in your method - you're getting the group principal into SearchGroup (check for NULL, btw!!) and then you're grabbing the members off GroupName ??

Try this:

private void populateGroups()
{
    GroupPrincipal SearchGroup = GroupPrincipal.FindByIdentity(context, "Group Name");

    if(SearchGroup != null)
    {
       GroupName = new List();

       // call 'GetMembers' on 'SearchGroup' here!! 
       foreach (UserPrincipal p in SearchGroup.GetMembers())  
       {
          GroupName.add(p.SamAccountName);
       }
    }
}
