Where to find mostly used class names for .NET?

[chelvis]

Where can I find all the classes, methods (I want to learn the mostly used classes and methods) in ASP.NET. Some one said you can go to msdn website and look at the tree structure and see all the classes. So I went to the following URL:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cpgenref/html/cpconnetframeworkdesignguidelines.asp

But I dont know which ones are commonly used in real world projects.

I don't want you to think were just lazy here, but, it really depends on what you're doing.

The most basic ones are the ones it automatically includes for you when you start a project.

Sorry if that doesn't help, but if you want to narrow your question down a little we can surely give some advice.

Good luck :)

I am going to take the certification exam (.NET) and also for my job interviews, I thought to learn the mostly used classes and what they are used for etc. For example I came accross this one which I didnt know what it is until I went and looked the explanation: HashPasswordForStoringInConfigFile

Well, that's just it. Your most used classes could differ from my most used classes, depending on what's needed in the project. Once you start having to use these classes in your projects, you'll familiarize yourself more and more with the methods and properties of it.

Good luck with the exams :)
