I took classes in C# and ASP.NET 2 year ago (short classes for beginners). But now when I try to program something new I can't because I don't really know a lot of classes, methods, and techniques. How can I get myself into programing the way I would really like to?

1. Start to write code.
2. Use the integrated Help System, MSDN and Google.
3. Try to compile your code. Work out the error messages.
4. Run your code. Correct any mistakes using the integrated Debugger.
5. Still having trouble? Ask us, showing the offending code snippet.

It's like anything else - you gotta do it all the time and push yourself into new areas that aren't necessarily within your comfort zone.

In addition to Toli's and John's suggestions, I would recommend getting a few good books. Books are usually written in a more lucid way compared to MSDN documentation, and non-native speakers might find books easier to grasp. You would still need to write code though, starting with basic things that will take you a few hours to complete, and then moving on to larger week long projects.
