.NET Bits

I had given a total of five .NET 4.0 Certification exams( list below) during the beta period in April. I am glad that I passed all of them and can cross them out of my list of exams to take for the new framework

I had given both these exam in April during the Beta period. Just found out that I have cleared it. 70-511 is primarily focussed on WPF with some questions on Windows Forms. Overall I am happy that I cleared both these exams and have the charter membership for MCPD Windows application 4.0 .
