On first reading this sounds like a bit of a daft question, but on thinking about it I can see what you mean. If you're not very familiar with .net and all it contains, then trying to work out which classes, methods or events are relevant to your problem can be quite difficult, and a lot of work.

Even those of us that do know it reasonably well (at least I think I do) can still sometimes get confused trying to find the best way to do things.

I don't know what other people do, but I generally start with Google, and use a search string that narrows down the results as much as possible. Be very specific, and think about what it is you're trying to achieve, what your problem is, then add extra search terms to look for specific information areas.

For example, someone was asking very recently about drag and drop in a ListView control, so I would search on Google using something like :-
"drag and drop" .net C++ ListView
which gives a lot of very good results.

Or, for the question below, on detecting screen resolution changes, I used :-
.net c++ windows detect screen "resolution change"

The Code Project articles are also a very good source of information, and using the advanced search mode there can also narrow down the results to the language or platform you're interested in. And there are a few other forums which have good articles and knowledge bases.

Finally, make sure you have Intellisense turned on, and have a browse through it - you can learn a lot about what a particular control, type, object etc. can do just by looking at its properties, events and methods.

There are three kinds of people in the world - those who can count and those who can't...
