Hi Thomas!

here's a good start..
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/cpref/html/cpref_start.asp

is there a listing about all the classes included in vb.net?

Press the F1 key and enter
"ms-help://MS.MSDNQTR.2005JAN.1033/cpref/html/cpref_start.htm" into the
address box. If you don't have the current version of the MSDN Library
installed, you will have to replace the "MS.MSDNQTR.2005JAN.1033" by the
string your version of the documentation uses.
