The new certification exams do not test languages - they test the concepts
behind the languages. When you take an exam involving Visual Studio 2005 or
2008, the computer asks you what language you want to take the exam in: C#,
Visual Basic .NET or (for Windows exams only) C++.Net.
What language you took your exam in is NOT on your transcript.
If you want to have your transcript show C#, then you will need to take
either the 70-306, 70-316, or 70-320 exams, but these are for Visual Studio
2003 (.Net Framework 1.1).
Hope this helps.

Hi,


I recently got certification in 70-316(c#).

It's very dificult to get through. You need to work hard i.e 12 to 16 hours
per a day. You have to quit your job and concentrate more.

I'm telling this from my experience.

You start here....
http://www.microsoft.com/learning/en/us/certification/exam.aspx

Where you should discover that you can no longer take the 70-316 (Developing
and Implementing Windows-Based Applications with Microsoft Visual C# .NET
and Microsoft Visual Studio .NET) exam (and also note that this was not a C#
exam, it was a *Windows Development* exam where you could choose which
language was used for the code samples presented).

The *current* Windows Application exam (using .NET Framework v2.0) is the
70-526
http://www.microsoft.com/learning/en/us/exam.aspx?ID=70-526&locale=en-us

and then go here....

Good day All,

I need help as I am lost & don't know what to do.
I was planning to do the exam 70-316 & then came accorss this post.

*current* Windows Application exam (using .NET Framework v2.0) is the 70-526

I was prepared to start studying for 70-526 but then i was stated that this
also not a C# Course but a .Net windows development.

do?

Please help, Regards

Correct. The 70-316 was, as were all .NET v1.1 (Visual Studio 2003) exams,
retired at the end of March, 2009.

This is also correct. None of the Microsoft developer exams have ever been
*language* exams; they merely use one of two languages (VB.NET, VC# - and
sometimes VC++ depending on the topic) to represent code samples used to
test *concepts*.

> What is the best C# with Microsoft.Net Windows Certificate (Exam) for me

The MCTS: Windows Developer on .NET v2.0 is *the* cert -- requires exams
70-536 and 70-526.
Add the 70-505 for the MCTS: Windows Developer on .NET v3.5

Add the 70-548 for the MCITP: Windows Developer on .NET v2.0
or the 70-563 for the MCITP: Windows Developer on .NET v3.5

Regarldess of where you're headed.. the Starting Point is actually the
70-536 Application Development Foundations exam, which is one of two exams
required to earn an MCTS: Developer certification (in any of the half dozen
available specialities).

This does take the place of a Microsoft Certification, but if you want to
demonstrate knowledge in a language, you can check out Brainbench.com. I
would recommend a subscription if you do that so you can take tests in
multiple technologies and take the same test multiple times if you need to.
It is not free - $100 for a 3 month subscription, $200 for a full year.

The U.S. gov't and the trading sector here in downtown Chicago use rely on
these tests. I've taken them in C++ and Perl and will do SQL.

Hi all!

Recently i and my friends have passed the 70-526 exam. We can access the
member site (MCP site) and we can also view/share our transcript.

But still now we can't able to download our certificate...

So please tell us how to download our certificate...
