Can see only a few classes in .NET library

I've downloaded VB Express Edition just one week ago and all seems right. Now i'm trying to program a simple application, an UDP_Client. It would be easy making use of the system.net.sockets namespace and the UdpClient Class.

But when I try to add the "system.net" reference to the project (double-clicking "my project" in solution explorer, in the references tab), only a few "system.xxx" namespaces appears ready to be added (and system.net is not there).

I follow the next steps:
Open the IDE, select "New Projet", "Windows application", double-click on "my project" in the solution explorer, select the references tab, click "add..." and in the ".NET" tab only see 26 "system.xxx" namespaces. Where are all the expected other

In this page are showed all the components of the .NET Framework library:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms306608(en-us,vs.80).aspx

But I have access to only a few. Why

My PC runs under Windows XP with SP2 updated, and I have already downloaded and installed the .NET Framework 2.0 SDK - ENU .

I'm doing something wrong Maybe the VB Express Edition can't make use of all the framework class library features

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Have you actually tried using components in the system.net namespace Did you get some errors

    However, this appears to be fine, to me. Looks like this namespace is already referenced and contained in the system namespace.

    Here is the full code for send and receive data in an UDP protocol. I've tried it and works perfectly, even if I compile the source code from the IDE.

    Now I should look depply classes and namespaces behaivor...

    Thanks for the help!
