Hi,

In Visual Studio there is a window called Object Explorer. Using this you can easily identify the namespace of a method. For opening ObjectExplorer goto View-->Object Explorer or press Ctrl+W,J. In Search TextBox type your classname or method or property and it will show the namespace, class name and you can browse the entire assembly.

Hi,

As I mentioned earlier you can see the list of methods and properties using this Object Browser. If you need more help you can make use of MSDN site where an example is provided along with the member methods and variables.

I assume you are experienced with C++. C# and .Net work differently, obviously. For C#, you need to have references and usings. The "using" statements go at the top, like #include, but the using statement in C# just specifies default namespaces, as in "using namespace std" in C++. In the Solution Explorer, look at the References node; you need to add references there. So for UDP, look at the documentation of the UdpClient Class. At the top of the documentation it says:

Namespace: System.Net.Sockets
Assembly: System (in System.dll)

So you need to add a reference to System.Net.Sockets and have "using System;" at the top of the program. That does not sound correect to me; I think it would be "using System.Net.Sockets;", but the documentation is probably correct.
