As it happens, I am an ASP.NET programmer, and I do accept contract work, but while I am in Las Vegas right now, I am based in Australia. I was more pointing out inconsistencies in your ad than applying, but if you want to offer me work, by all means, I'm listening....

I created a new WMI classes in WMI namespace by using the mof file . MOF file have the following content.
[WMI,
guid("{c74aece4-468b-4113-b006-0caadc968ac4}")]
class DSM_PATH_INFO {
[WmiDataId(1)] uint32 pID;
[WmiDataId(2)] boolean active;
};
class WMI_LIST_INSTANCE
{
[WmiDataId(1)] uint32 NumberOfinstance;
[WmiDataId(2),
Description("Array of DSM_PATH_INFO classes"),
WmiSizeIs("NumberOfinstnce")
] DSM_PATH_INFO pathList[];
};
class DSM_WMI_METHOD
{
[WmiMethodId(1),
Static, Implemented,
Description("Get names for Given GroupId")
] void DsmGetPathsForGroup(
[in] uint32 GroupId,
[out] WMI_LIST_INSTANCE pList
);
};
these are the class i have in WMI namespace .I am using COM API to call a method "DsmGetPathsForGroup" in DSM_WMI_METHOD class and then I am getting "WMI_LIST_INSTANCE" instance as a output.but i dont know how to access the members in "WMI_LIST_INSTANCE" instnce and then I dont know how to access the pathList[] array in "WMI_LIST_INSTNCE" instnce.
Any help would be great.because of this problem my work was stuck.

I am a Certified Microsoft Techie with 10 years of experience in various Ms Technologies returned from US a year ago. Recently I joined one top CMM5 level company in India as an Architect. I have more than 12 years experience in IT field. I have played various roles like Lead developer, BA and Tech lead. Have fair exposure to project management techniques. My current company wants me to report to Project managers with 5-6 years experience, who are technically feeble and have fair Project management skills. That is hurting my professional pride/ego.
I am just wondering about organizational hierarchy in other companies. I.e. Do all Architects need to work under PMs?

Project Management and Architect are two different roles.
Yes, architects report to project managers in the normal course of events.
This is "a good thing", as they have different goals. The architect's job is to design the right approach to the system and then see that it is followed. The project manager's job is to balance business results desired vs. capability, cost and time to deliver them.
Yes, project managers have poor-to-fair project management skills and feeble technical skills in the normal course of events. (That doesn't make it right, it's just a recognition of reality.)
So, unless you are the project manager AND the architect, you can plan on most projects being managed by people who lack the skills to do the job right.
Be happy when you get a good project manager, treat them right, and do great work for them. That way, they will insist on you for their next project.

Hi
Anyone knows any certifications for VC++. I think microsoft is not conducting VC++ Certification exams. I want to do some certification in C++/VC++/MFC. Just give me some trigger.
Thanks

Before the .NET certifications, the MCSD used to be either VB or C++. I think that all of those exams have expired now tho.

All of these reasons describe either experiences I have had or adverts I have seen, sometimes slightly exaggerated for dramatic effect. Also, some of this client behaviour could be construed as being quite reasonable depending on the context.
1. They interview you before getting budget approval, and then tell you afterwards that the budget has not been approved.
2. They set technical tests and get their own answers wrong.
3. They ask you what your weaknesses are. Would Tony Blair tell you what his weaknesses are? He was asked a similar question on the BBC Today programme and answered: “that’s for me to know and you to find out.”
4. They give as a reason for rejecting you after interview that you do not have adequate experience in skill X when you admitted prior to interview that you didn’t.
5. They give as a reason for rejecting you after interview that you do not have adequate experience in skill X when it wasn’t asked for in the first place.
6. You are a contractor and you have a gap of a few months on your CV and it’s known that the IT market is in a downturn. They ask what you’ve been doing? Trying to find work of course!
7. They hold interviews when they know that the job will be filled internally.
8. Human Resources (aka Human Remains) interview you and ask you lots of stupid questions, none of which have any relevance to whether you can do the job.
9. The job is a contract position and they insist on knowing your career aims for the next 20 years.
10. You have 10 years’ solid IT industry experience, yet they insist on your having a 1st class honours degree from a top 10 university and 3 A’s at A-Level before they’ll even look at you.
11. You have 10 years’ solid IT industry experience, yet they insist on your having a 1st class honours degree from Oxford, Cambridge or Imperial. So those who graduated from Harvard magna cum laude need not apply then?
12. They ask you to give them an idea on how to proceed with the problem that is forcing them to look for a contractor in the first place. In other words, they want free consultancy as part of the interview. But once they’ve got the consultancy they hire someone else.
13. They advertise a job that specifies that the candidate must have at least 3 years’, but no more than 10 years’, experience in C++. In other words, those aged over 35 need not apply.
14. They insist that you have 2 years’ commercial experience in a new software technology that has yet to be released.
15. You are rejected because you do not fit the “company culture.” In other words, you are too old.
16. They say you must be able to write bug-free code as a matter of course. So their current software is bug-free then?
17. They get the agency to give you a technical test over the phone. You pass this and they invite you to their offices. They never set eyes on you but they get the agency to set you a written technical test. However, afterwards, you receive no feedback whatsoever, despite numerous attempts at follow-ups.
18. You have an interview on a Tuesday. After the interview they tell you that they have more candidates to see and they won’t be making a decision until Friday. Wrong! They’ve already made a decision – that you won’t be one of the candidates they’ll choose on Friday. If they want you they’ll make you an offer within 24 hours, either later that day or the next morning, regardless of whether they’ve got others to see.
19. They think that if you haven’t got commercial experience in skill X then you can’t do it at all.
20. You have been a professional programmer for 10 years, but you don’t have commercial experience in the latest skill, X. Yet they treat you as though you are a brand new programmer with no commercial experience at all.
21. They ask for a shopping-list of a dozen skills. You are able to land the contract anyway. But after you’ve completed it you’ve only had to use one or two skills on the shopping-list.

Perhaps they were hoping that you had more than enough experience in skill Y that would have made up for the deficiencies in skill X.

It's not unreasonable to take time off between jobs to take coursework, get certified, etc.

This is part of being an EOE.

Nothing wrong with that. Your industry experience cannot be measured. A diploma and certification(s) can.

This is quite normal. I've heard plenty of stories about folks getting hired on the spot because one of the engineers in the interview threw a real-life problem out on the table and the candidate fixed it right there.

Because they want you to help them get to that point. This was quite the thing to see in the newspapers when .Net first came out. I too was curious as to how folks were to have any experience with such a new technology. It's called learning it on your own.

A lot of companies like to hire young folks because they can get roughly the same amount of work for less money.

Your answer to point 15 isn't entirely correct - young folks tend to put up with being pushed around and experienced hands know bs when they smell it.
|
|
|
|

Older folks get laid off and lose their job for the very reason I described. The company saves a ton of money by letting go of the stale, higher-paid veterans and bringing in younger, fresh minds. That's just the cycle of employment and has been around for decades. Getting pushed around and not knowing bs has nothing to do with it. A new college graduate or someone with only a few years experience will not be able to go into a company and demand a higher salary than those that have been in the industry for many years. Of course there are exceptions to the rule.

There is a reason for everything ,
I belive everything is for some good .
I was rejected by a Big company inspite
of a successfull written exam and my friend
was selected eventhough had wrong answers ,
later on i came to know he was shifted to a
new techonlogy which had less scope in market.
He was help less as he left his first job ![Rose | [Rose]](https://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/Images/rose.gif)

Hi
I am in the UK and am looking to study at home for MCDBA exams.
I am looking for a little help on where to get good training materials for a sensible price and information about exam costs and locations.
A couple of places seem to be offering packages but don't mention exam costs at all.
http://www.certifyittraining.com/mcdba2003.htm[^] is one example of this.
Any useful information would be appreciated!
Many Thanks
Marc

Hi neoms21
When you pass one exam you will get MCP credential.
Next is MCAD(Microsoft Certified Application Developer) which requires 3 exams.
Then MCSD(Microsoft Certified Solution Developer) which requires 5 exams. ie MCAD + 2 more exams.
A good site is Microsoft's own site

I do asp.net development in vb.net. Without getting into a religious debate over which language is better can someone give me a real world reason to change to C#?
|
|
|
|
|
There isn't any. VB.Net is just as good, if not better. It's easier to read and the intellisense is better. Plus there are still plenty of jobs for vb.net programmers. I just started a new job and I had 2 offers after 4 interviews in the Philadelphia area.
