VB.net -2 d array help

[wozzizname]

Hi all, I've a project to write a game of connect four in VB.net, but I'm kinda stuck already. I've designed the game board which displays all the slots which the connect four counters will drop into, but I'm unsure how to store these slots in an array (the slots are a loop of circles drawn on the game board).

Hope that makes sense, I'm new to this, and feel like I'm out of my depth....

How soon do you need help? I've added you to MSN. I did start writing a post but I think an MSN conversation will be more helpful (if this forum were search indexed I'd feel more enthusiastic about writing it all up, but as it isn't it kind of feels like I'd be writing it into a lost vault of knowledge!).

What exactly is it you're stuck with at the moment?
A standard Connect 4 board is 7x6, so an array with those dimensions would be good for storing the counters.
If you can design it well first of all it will make things much easier when fleshing out the details.
I made a Connect 4 game in .NET a while ago and, like with anything, a bit of good design helps a lot.
