What is your favourite .NET namespace?

I've never had time to catagorically go through them all so I'm just interested in finding out what namespaces people think are cool and why.
My favourite is CodeDom, the ability to write code within code is intriguing then link that up with a compiler and you can make your program create another program which opens up all sorts of possiblites.
I also would become pretty useless without System.Collections or System.IO.
Does anyone else have favourites?

I think you need to be reborn a little less naff.

A bit of an odd question.. maybe you should ask 'what's your favorite
feature of the .net framework?'.

CodeDOM is cool, true. But then again, so are the classes in System.Data,
and System.Text also. Plus System.Drawing.* contains some very cool classes
for image manipulation. Oh and let's not forget System.Diagnostics.

Let's face it, the whole damn thing is cool.

I was just hoping some people might be able to talk about certain features of the .NET framework that they have used out of context or have a new way to adapt for an interesting purpose.
99% of all the posts up here are always about specific problems so I thought i'd post something a little more general to give people the opportunity to share cool thoughs or brag about stuff they have been able to produce.

What exactly is so cool about System.Diagnostics? I've never used it that much.

Note: Beeeves, naff is a lame insult, try harder.

System.Diagnostics... if you've ever tried to program perfmon counters
before, you'd be amazed at how simple that namespace achieves the whole
thing. Plus it gives you access to process info, and general things that
seem surprising to be part of a safe, managed library.

UhihaJax,

I always had a passion towards XML and i am a fan of msxml parser.
Obviously, after receiving .NET from microsoft, System.Xml became my
favourite now. Man, this one made my life interesting. I would love you
receive updates on this namespace from microsoft. System.Xml is the
fantastic namespace and thx to microsoft. My 2nd favourite namespace is
"using mshtml".

Shak.

I've used System.Diagnostics for debugging and process inspection.
Debug.Assert() is a handy call for catching problems in your code early.
It's also nice to be able to force some methods to be called in Debug mode
but not in release (using the Conditional attribute).

Performance counters also live in System.Diagnostics. I've never used them
personally but they're supposed to be helpful for testing applicaiton
performance.
