Basic namespace question

[Geoff Pennington]

If I am using a class I haven't used before, how do I figure out what
namespace to import?

Much obliged,
Geoff.

By at the documentation for the type. For instance, if you want to use
Hashtable, look up "about Hashtable" in MSDN, and go to the bottom of
the page. It tells you that it's in the namespace System.Collecti ons,
and in the assembly mscorlib.
