diagramming

I am new to UML diagramming, but I'm trying to learn the ropes. Using a tool such as Visio or AgroUML how would you represent a .NET Datatype in your diagram? Two examples that I would like to do:

DataTable
List<MyObject>

The only method I see right now is creating a class that represents a datatable. As far as representing collections, I can't find any method to do that.

Thanks!
