Objects don't necessarily *have* names. Usually I find when people want
to give objects names, they're really after some way of retrieving an
object by a string key later on. That's where hashtables come in
useful.

That would be a good idea. I suggest you familiarize yourself with
ArrayLists as well Hashtables before going much further - they're both
pretty fundamental to writing many .NET applications. If you look up
"collection classes" in the MSDN index, you'll see there's a tutorial
and a couple of samples available. I haven't gone through them myself,
but reading them (and/or a Collections chapter in a .NET book) would be
a good idea.
