Well, without being too specific (I don't want to have to come up with a new one, and I don't want to give away too many details - some job seekers are wiley and can use the inter-tubes) it would involve the following:
Some sort of user interface, candidate gets the choice or WinForms or Web Application (I suppose WPF could be included). There is a data source involved, we provide a flat file, XML file or database and candidates can choose which they'd prefer (they also get the option of re-designing the data format as there are slight flaws).
The application consists of some sort of input which dictates which data to display. There is also some data that is disconnected from the data source (say some graphics files). And there are some inconsistencies in the way things are names.
What we are looking for is: Is everything set out logically? Are any of the flaws in the spec or source files (data, graphics, etc.) provided resolved? Does the program work (at least to some extent). Did they make any unit tests?
I suppose something along the lines of a stock system where you can put in a product category and get back a picture along with current inventory levels and price would fit the bill.
For bonus points (if they finish the main part of the exercise) make it editable.
You now have 4 hours. GO!

Seriously, if you want to give it a go I can see if I can come up with a spec and some files. Or you can first off design some database and flesh out a specification based on my previous description and follow that through.

Harold,
I've found an older version (WinForms only version). I can send it to you if you wish. Just use the email link on this message to get in touch and I'll send it over.
Regards,
Colin.

Thanks for the offer but I think you've told me enough, I was mostly just curious about what kind of thing I could expect 
I have a feeling that I could pull it off, but it's the holidays for me and I'm afraid laziness wins today (I'm a student, need I say more?  )

i am the beginer for .net, i need to bind records into gridview using data reader,
please help me, how to do this..
|
|
|
|
|
this is very easy, first declare data reader and provide obj for data reader and read each and every row using for loop and bind the gridview columns.
|
|
|
|
|
Quite easy, first declare some list with type of your data wrapper, then read db via reader and populate one warper object with data from reader for each row and add it to declared list. Lastly you need to set gridview data source property to your declared list and call bind on gridview that's it.

I have a report that needs printing, it's over 6000 pages (A4) from a dataset built in memory. I'm using the "normal" reportviewer control, and the generation of the report to the viewer seems fine, however when the report is sent to the printer it crashes after about 2000 pages, sometimes throwing an exception in GDI, sometimes (I'm not sure why) silently (ie stops sending pages to the printer). Having watched the memory usage on the machine that this is running on I discovered that it's not running out of memory (as I first assumed).
Does anyone have A. Any idea what is going on and how to get around it, or B. A reporting tool that's better suited to printing (not saving to file) very large reports.
Thanks
Simon

It seems the printer driver is having problems handling the volume of data. Sorry if I'm stating the obvious, but it seems there's little you can do to work around this other than printing the report in chunks.

I've kind of come to that conclusion and implemented a solution to do that, thanks for the reply.

How can i display search results in a windows form similar to the way it's displayed on MSDN library.
Thanks in advance.

You could format the results in HTML and use a web browser control to display them.

I'm not 100% sure that I fully understand your question, but taking a best guess, something like:
string columnValue = myDataGridView.Rows[myDataGridView.CurrentRow].Cells["nameOfTheColumn"].Value.ToString();

Biased in what way?

Windows date/time is a direct reflection of the BIOS date/time. When Windos starts, it gets the date/time from the BIOS. When you change the date/time in Windows, it also updates the date/time in the BIOS.
So, you get the date/time using DateTime.Now().

Do we have annotations in .net just like we have in java. Like in java we can create an annotation by creating an interface with @ "public @interface MyAnnotation" and then use them in our application.

We have attributes in .NET. I don't know if these are exactly equivalent to Java annotations but they seem similar.
