<sorry for my bad english>

hello,  I am lerning (and working with) .net from some time
and I want you to enumerate to me 10 most important (most useful)
clasess
(classes to specialy good remembering by  .net programmer)
from framework meybe without some obvious classes such as
fundamental types and collections - also I am not thinking for such
stright clases as most useful controls or IO clases etc ) I ve got a
eight examples
from my side - aplication, environment, process, control, form, timer,
component, container - could somebody assembly some list
for me. More lists better.

thanks

In your case the most important class is an English language class!

You say you don't want fundamental classes and then go on to list 8
fundamental classes.

Stephany,

I fail to see why that should be the top priority for someone who
probably lives in Poland.

This question can't really be answered definitively.  If you live and breath
databases, then I've got a bunch of classes that will be most important to
you.  If you are a UI designer, then I've got others that you will use all
the time.

There are literally thousands and thousands of classes in the .NET
Framework, narrowing it down to the 10 most important is not really a valid
question in the first place.

First figure out what it is you need to do and then go from there.

It's not clear to me where the line should be drawn - you want the 10
most important classes, but not including the fundamental ones. In
other words, the most important ones which aren't really important...

Without the restriction, I'd go for (off the top of my head):

object
string
Delegate
Enum
ValueType
Stream
List<T>
Dictionary<K,T>
Convert
Math

You know - I ' am curious to which classes to focus on
when I learn a fundamentals of framework - simple types
like int or string though fundamental are not what I am
asking about becouse they are obvious. I am looking
into this terrible (from some points of view) msdn and
realy do not know what is more important

those above are smple fundamental, so i do not count
can you maybe put yet a few more for me ? :)

> ValueType

> List<T>
> Dictionary<K,T>

tnx

The most important ones *are* the fundamental ones. As they become
"less fundamental" they will become less important.

Beyond the ones that I mentioned, it will depend on what you're doing.
To access a database, you ought to know about DataReader, DataSet,
DataTable, DataRow, along with the connection and parameter types
which are relevant to your particular database.

If you're looking at Windows Forms there are a whole bunch of classes
there for controls etc.

If you're writing an HTML web application, there are controls,
sessions etc.

If you're writing a web service, you need to know about different
things again.

It's hard to get more specific without more context, given that you've
tried to rule out fundamental types.

IMO don't focus on specific classes. Just deal with what you have to deal
with as you go possibly asking for specific questions.

You could start by checking namespaces at :

Or by technology at :
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/63bf39c2.aspx

Also the web browser in VS.NET allows to quickly browse classes to check for
what could interest you...
