From: Jeff on 21 Mar 2010 13:43 hi My boss wants me to take the 70-536 certification exam. I see on the web that there are 2 versions of it. One with vb.net and another with c#. Thinks that is a bit strange. He assigned about 10 exams he wants me to complete, I see now that about 95% of the exams involve vb.net but it's C# we are using.... any suggestions?

You'll see that the MS Press books for a given exam has the VB and C# examples in it. What exams are you talking about that you have issues with vb as opposed C#?
From: Jeff on 21 Mar 2010 18:39 I thought that each exam had a specific code, so exams for vb.net should have a different code than exams for c#.. So lets say (just as an example) that c# version is 70-536 and vb.net exam have code 70-538. Atleast the exams did have that about 3 years ago. Okay I think I have to look up the link at microsoft which tells what the exams are about. think that will remove the confusion I have.

Just like you have MS Press books for exam study and practice that have VB and C# code examples in the book that cover a given topic. One takes the exam for VB or one takes the exam for C#. The code is only different in the syntax of the language being used, but namespaces and code used to solve the problem should be the same and only synthetically different. It's the same test covering the same exam topics. You shouldn't worry about it and just take the C# path on the exams.

I hope you've been promised a huge pay rise, because there's no other reason to take any of these "certifications" - not worth the paper they're printed on... -- Mark Rae ASP.NET MVP http://www.markrae.net |
