    Why doesn't Microsoft offer certification for Visual C++.net. The new certification track for MCSD includes ASP.net, VB.net or C#. Why they are pushing for .net this way? I am a developer in C++ and want to get certified in it but they ended the VisualC++ 6.0 track and they have not introduced a substitution for vs.net. :(:(

      MC++ is obsolete now and C++/CLI is in beta. So there is currently no active C++ compiler targetting .NET which is why there is no C++ option for MCSD.NET You can still take the normal MCSD (and use VC++ 7.1 instead of VC 6 for all your coding/studying). Nish

          As I understand it they are working on some plans for VC++ certification. We will probably hear more about it when Whidbey comes out. I kinda have the feeling that C++/CLI will be the "top" language for .NET development in the future (starting from Whidbey).

              seing the MC++ syntax, how many would have thought, its a long term solution to write managed c++ code ! Thanks I didnt made a second look to any MC++ articles.;P

                I am not referring to the Managed C++ category. I mean the unmanaged C++. I checked their site and it states that Visual Studio 6.0 track has been stopped. There is no category for VC++ 7 at all. Can you give me the link? I need to know what is the new track.

                  There is no track for VC++ 7 certification and there won't be one. When VC++ 8 (aka Whidbey) comes out there might be a certification for VC++ 8. But I'm pretty sure such a certification will be for C++/CLI and thus C++.NET development and not for native, unmanged C++ as MFC/ATL.

                    By the way I urge you to send an email to the applicable MS department, letting them know that you would like to see a future C++ certification track. C++ developers are known for not being too interested in certifications, so it would be a good idea letting MS know that there are C++ developers out there who want certification.

                      I will send an email just to let them know that there is another unmanaged C++ who is interested in certification. However, their answer is already known and published in their FAQ in the certification site. They do not have any plans. This is unfortunate. I hope a reputable organization offers such certification at least.
