Hello I got what some might think is a really dum
question. My understanding is that with Microsoft
certifications you add the version number with the cert.
For example MCSENT MCSE2000 MCSE 2003 ect.
Anyway with the MCAD and MCSD is there a cert for each
lang or just one?
I thought there was MCAD VB and a MCADC# then the same
for the MCSD but I was told by some people that there is
no diference and that you do not put the VB or C# labal
on the cert.

There are separate tests for VB and C#, but the tests are very
similar. The only real difference is the syntax used in the code
segments.

The tests are not really focusing on language features. They are
designed to test your ability to use the language with the 3 core
areas of .NET: Windows forms, Web Forms, Web Services and Remoting.

If you can pass a VB.NET test (like 70-305), I think you can pass the
equivalent C# test (70-315), and vice-versa.

read again "...with the 3 core areas of .NET: Windows forms, Web Forms, Web
Services and Remoting."
Let's divide the sentence for you:
1 - Windows forms,
2 - Web Forms,
3 - Web Services and Remoting

I bought Lord of the Rings trilogy, too. And yes there were 4 books, nothing
is perfect . The forth one was "The Hobbit".

In our case you can say that the forth core area could be the SQL Server

Remoting and Web Services are similar (from a functional point of
view), so they are tested together in one test.

VB.NET
1 = test 70-306
2 = test 70-305
3 = test 70-310

C#
1 = test 70-316
2 = test 70-315
3 = test 70-320

The SQL Server Database Design test (this is the most popular test of
the avail choices for MCAD): 70-229

To get MCAD, most of us take test 1 or 2 (either 1 or 2), test 3, and
70-229. For MCSD, you will normally take tests 1 through 3, 70-229,
and 70-300.

You are a little wrong.

You can take:
1 = test 70-306 or 70-316
2 = test 70-305 or 70-315
3 = test 70-310 or 70-320
and become a MCAD.

Of course you can substitute #1 or #2 with test 070-229 with the same
result.

Yes, similar cos Web Services are built on top of
Remoting and so a further extension of it.
