hey guys -
I'm completely new to asp.net, my job is sending me over for some training, the goal is making my team able to create and support .net applications, mainly create them in vb.net and making them available online for other users.
One of the first things I'm seeing is that you need to be familiar with the names spaces in .net, and there's a world of name spaces out there available to us and more being added to the new frameworks released by Microsoft.
The question is, where do you guys usually go in order to find out what specific namespace you should use for that specific task ? I know some of you guys will tell me to either google, bol or object browser, but there must be some hidded secret out there that you guys might want to share =D.
Also, any other web sites or documentation that you guys might have used while learning asp.net/.net would be good.
Thanks in advance for the help!

Google Groups taught me .NET. As you do more work in it, you get more familiar with what functionality is in which namespace. Most of them are pretty self-explainatory (like SYstem.Xml, System.Data).

I find that the SDK documentation is excellent too, I use it as a reference all the time.

So, in short... Google and BOL

Timmy and Merkin -
Thanks for the links, I'll review them as soon as I get a chance. On the meantime, not sure if everyone is a big fan of videos, but I found this web site pretty interesting, some of you guys might want to check it out. It might be old to you guys too...
