What Is a Voucher

What’s the difference between Prometric and VUE vouchers?

Our Prometric exam vouchers are only redeemable with Prometric and likewise our VUE exam vouchers are only redeemable with VUE. If you could use a Prometric or a VUE voucher for your exam, find the Prometric or VUE testing center closest to you by using our Prometric Testing Center Locator and our VUE Testing Center Locator to help choose what type of voucher you need.

How can I order test vouchers

How soon can you expect my exam vouchers?

Are the exam vouchers transferable?

Can you use one voucher for more than one exam?

No, a voucher only permits you to take one exam only. It does not cover retakes if you do not pass the exam. However, if the vouchers explicitly state they have a free retake, you can go for it.

• The customErrors element provides information about custom error messages for ASP.NET applications. The mode attribute of the customErrors element specifies whether custom errors are enabled, disabled, or shown only to remote clients.
• The mode attribute of the customErrors element specifies whether custom errors are enabled, disabled, or shown only to remote clients. Setting this attribute to RemoteOnly specifies that the custom errors are shown only to remote clients.
• Use the attribute in the Web.config file of the application to deny access to a resource. The users attribute of the element specifies the user names that are denied access to a resource.
• Use the customErrors element to provide information about custom error messages for an ASP.NET application. The mode attribute of the customErrors element specifies whether custom errors are enabled, disabled, or shown only to remote clients.
• Use the customErrors element to provide information about custom error messages for ASP.NET applications. The mode attribute of the customErrors element specifies whether custom errors are enabled, disabled, or shown only to remote clients.
• A user required necessary permission for remote debugging on a remote computer.
• The wwp.exe process is associated with application pools in IIS. If a user has more than one application pool, he will run more than one instance of the wwp.exe process running.
• The IScriptControl interface is used to represent methods that ASP.NET server controls have to implement to depict ECMAScript (JavaScript) resources in AJAX enabled applications.
• Trace.axd is an Http Handler that can be used to view the trace details for an application. It is resides in the application’s root directory.
• The healthMonitoring element is an ASP.NET Settings Schema. It is used to configure an application for health monitoring. It consists of attributes, child elements, and parent elements.
• The trace element is an ASP.NET Settings Schema. It is used to configure the ASP.NET code tracing service that controls how trace results are assembled, stored, and displayed.
• The element of the Web.config file provides information about custom error messages for ASP.NET applications. The mode attribute of the element is used to specify whether custom errors are enabled, disabled, or shown only to remote clients.
• The pages element is an ASP.NET Settings Schema. It is used to define page specific configuration settings globally.
• The Duration attribute of the @ OutputCache directive specifies the amount of time (in seconds) for which a control is cached. The VaryByParam attribute allows developers to vary the output cache depending on a GET query string or form POST parameters.
• The ErrorPage attribute of the @ Page directive is used to set the URL if an unhandled exception occurs. Sam can set this target to the home page.
• The TraceMode attribute of the @ Page directive specifies the order in which the trace information is to be displayed. It can be sorted either by the Category column (SortByCategory) or by time column (SortByTime).
• Tracing can be enabled for an application by using the trace element. The settings of the Web.config file overrides the settings of the Machine.config file.
• The AutoPostBack property works properly only if a browser is set to allow scripting. By default, a browser is set to allow scripting, but some users disable it for security reasons.
• Tracing can be enabled or disabled for a page by using the Trace attribute of the @ Page directive.
• Tracing can be enabled for an application by using the trace element in the application’s Web.config file.
• The enabled attribute of the trace element specifies whether or not tracing is enabled for an application. By default, this attribute is set to false. Setting this attribute to true will enable tracing for the entire application.
• Smart navigation is best used with ASP.NET pages that require frequent postbacks.
• The EnableEventValidation attribute of the @ Page directive is used to validate .aspx page events in postback requests and callback scenarios.
• The EnableViewState attribute of the @ Page directive is set to true, which indicates that the view state is maintained across page requests.
• The pageOutput attribute specifies whether or not trace output is rendered at the end of each page of an application.
• The requestLimit attribute specifies the number of trace requests to be stored on the server. The trace is automatically disabled if the limit is reached.
• Add a Page directive to the Page.aspx in order to make it work properly.
• A new IIS application can be created for hosting WCF services. Alternatively, a WCF service can be deployed into an existing ASP.NET application. Before deploying a WCF service implementation to the IIS or ASP.NET application, you must create a .svc file for the WCF service. Only then, the WCF service can be configured.
• Web applications run inside a worker process that is assigned to an application pool. If the application pool is not started yet, the worker process does not run for that application pool.
• Use Windows System Monitor to identify spikes inside a component and to get notification if the average time to process messages reaches a certain level.
• Use System Monitor and Microsoft Operations Manager to collect information from the custom performance counters inside a component when the component is running on a production server.
• Profiling and instrument application components are the best options to improve the application performance when the application is consuming lots of memory resulting in slow operation.
• The system.web element is an ASP.NET Settings Schema. It is used to specify the root element for the ASP.NET configuration section and contains configuration elements.
• The compilation Element is an ASP.NET Settings Schema. It is used to configure all compilation settings that ASP.NET utilizes to compile applications. In .NET Framework, the compilers child element of the compilation element is deprecated in support of the compilers element of the system.codeDom section.
• Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) is a set of extensions to the Windows Driver Model that provides an operating system interface through which instrumented components provide information and notification.
• Enable tracing for a page when the page has been deployed to a remote server to view execution time of page events.
• The performance counter mechanism is used to monitor the performance of all the Web applications during the execution period.

• JavaScript Object Notation (JSON), pronounced “Jason”, is a lightweight computer data interchange format. It is a text-based, human-readable format for representing simple data structures and associative arrays (called objects).
• The Bind method is normally used with input controls such as the TextBox control rendered by a GridView row in edit mode. As soon as the data-bound control constructs these input controls as element of its own rendering, it can get the input values.
• The SelectedIndex property of the DropDownList class is used to get or set the index of the selected item in the DropDownList control.
• The TreeView is a data-bound control that displays hierarchical data such as a table of contents or a file directory in a tree-like structure format.
• It is important to provide an id because it gives identification for the data value entered into the field by the user.
• The OnItemDataBound method of the DataGrid control is used to raise the ItemDataBound event that occurs after a data item is bound to the control.
• The AutoGenerateColumns property is used to get or set a value that indicates whether or not the BoundColumns object are automatically created and displayed in the DataGrid control for each field in a data source.
• The SqlDataReader class avoids creating unnecessary objects or making unnecessary copies of data. Hence, it provides optimal performance.
• The public DropDownList List; statement will make a List available for Page.aspx. Public variables and objects can be accessed from all other procedures and functions in all the modules in the same project.
• The EditCommand event of the DataGrid control occurs when users click the Edit button for a DataGrid item.
• The EditItemIndex property of the DataGrid control specifies the index of an item in the DataGrid control to edit. It is used to programmatically control which item is being edited.
• The args.Item.ItemIndex statement specifies the index of the selected item in the DataGrid control.
• The FormView control displays a single data record from a data source in a table. It displays only user-defined templates instead of row fields.
• The Init event is raised after a control is initialized. For a dynamically added user control to take part in post back data processing and validation, you must load the control during the Init event.
• Web server controls are used for advanced functionality and a more consistent programming model than HTML server controls.
• An ASP.NET application that is configured receives the request for the image from the Web browser and generates the image for each Web request.
• The INamingContainer interface is used to identify a container control that generates a new ID namespace inside a Page object’s control hierarchy. It is a simple marker interface.
• A RegularExpressionValidator control is used to check whether or not the value entered into a form field matches the pattern specified by a regular expression.
• The InitialValue property of a RequiredFieldValidator control is used to specify the initial value of the input control that is associated with the RequiredFieldValidator control.
• The ClientValidationFunction property of the CustomValidator class specifies the name of the custom client-side script function used for validation.
• The ServerValidate event for a CustomValidator control is raised when validation is performed on the server.
• A user can display all the validation error messages on a Web page in a message box by setting the ShowMessageBox property of the ValidationSummary control to True. If the user does not want the validation summary to be displayed on the Web page, the ValidationSummary property of the ValidationSummary control should be set to False.
• The RequiredFieldValidator validation control is used to check whether an input control contains a value. It is generally used to validate a TextBox control.
• The validation error message is displayed on a Web page in a message box by setting the ShowMessageBox property of the ValidationSummary control to true. By setting the ShowSummary property of the ValidationSummary control to false, the validation summary will not be displayed on the Web page.
• A Dynamic layout of a Web page can potentially change the layout of the page when an error message appears on it.
• The FileUpload class is used to display a TextBox control and a Browse Button that allows a user to select a file to upload to the Web server. The user provides the file to upload by entering the full path of the file on the local computer (for e.g. C:\MyFiles\CommonFiles\Test.txt) in the TextBox.
• The HttpRequest.Params collection contains all HTML form fields that are rendered by a page.
• The CreateUserWizard control is a login control that collects user information such as a user name, a password, an e-mail address, etc. This information can also be used for user authentication and for recovery of users’ passwords. The CreateUserWizard control also creates a new user account and adds the account to the ASP.NET membership system.
• The Page.PreviousPage property is used to get the page that transferred control to the current page. The FindControl method is used to search the current naming container for the specified server control.
• The PassThrough property renders the text as it is. It includes HTML markup and script.
• Several RadioButton controls on a Web form do not automatically interact with each other. In order to let several RadioButtons on a Web form interact with each other, they must be logically placed in a group by using the GroupName property of each control.

The Microsoft 70-547 exam is intended to evaluate an individual’s capability to design and develop Web-based applications by using the Microsoft .NET Framework. Ahead of taking the 70-547 exam, you must practice the following: Continue Reading….

Microsoft has specified more than thirty five objectives for the 70-547 exam, which are grouped under six topics. The important areas in which an individual should have an excellent knowledge prior to taking the 70-547 exam: Continue Reading….

There are three building blocks of .NET Framework 3.5, which are as follows:

• Common Language Runtime (CLR): It is used to execute the managed code. It was designed to support multiple languages.
• Common Type System (CTS): It provides every language running on the .NET platform with a base set of data types.
• Common Language Specification (CLS): It describes a common level of language functionality. It is a set of rules that a language compiler must have in order to create .NET applications that run in the CLR.

Intermediate Language Disassembler (ILDASM) is used to examine the manifest and Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL) code in a class.

To use ILDASM to examine a class

1. From the Windows Start button, point to Programs, then click Visual Studio .NET > Visual Studio .NET Tools > Visual Studio .NET Command Prompt.
2. Go to the install folder\Democode\Mod02\Converter\bin\Debug folder.
3. Type the following: ildasm Converter.exe A window containing a tree structure will be displayed.
4. Expand the Converter node. A component named ConvertIt will appear. Point out that this is the class that was presented in the previous demonstration.
5. Expand the ConvertIt node. The methods, constructors, and other items that make up the class will be displayed.
6. Click View > Show source lines.
7. Double-click the Main method. A window containing the MSIL instructions for the Main method will appear.
8. Double-click MANIFEST. A window showing the contents of the module and its references will appear. Close the window.
9. Close the ILDASM window.
