Good day,

Today i took the MCTS 70-536 exam with flying colors, but unfortunately i heard the secretary saying that she "thinks" that the Microsoft .NET certificates expire after two years.

I googled for prove but i couldn't find anything on that topic.

I'm specificly asking for the "MCTS: .NET Framework 3.5, Windows Forms Applications" certificate

Best regards, Hris

Not sure but even if they do it still does no harm to list them on your CV/Resume. Technically MCSDs have been superseded by MCTS but employers who value certs still also value MCSD. There's not really a distinction.

Please enlighten me. I thought MCTS was merely the .NET 3.5 version of .NET 2? Confused | :confused:

"The Microsoft Visual Studio certifications offer you choices and simple paths to achieve your goals. These certifications—Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist (MCTS) and Microsoft Certified Professional Developer (MCPD)—are designed to validate your skills in Visual Studio 2008 and the Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5."

So MCTS and MCPD are upgrades to MCSD and MCAD.

MCTS exams are stepping stones toward MCSD, and MCPD is a higher level than MCSD. If you read through the website you will see the list of exams necessary to attain each certification and see that both MCSD and MCPD have prerequisites of MCTS exams

It's not that they expire. As newer technologies come along, older exams get retired because they aren't as relevant.

So they actually don't have an "Expiration date" ?
They only become obsolete because of new technologies ?

That's not limited to the MS certs;

I still got an old cert that says "Advanced MS-DOS". It's not that it's invalidated, but no-one uses DOS anymore. It always helps to add them to the resume, as it shows that one was already active and learning.

I guess i understood your requirement. Wink | ;)

It is good to emphasize the UI, look & feel as well as functionality.

But sadly you need to take help from third party custom controls(unless you build your own; i wont suggest !!)

I suggest you to use 'DevComponents'http://www.devcomponents.com/[^] for your app. The reason is :

1.You can have custom menus,forms,panels and many other controls.

2. It provides look, style, and a archieve of controls that follows Office2007 UI guideline(This is microsoft's recommended standard for UI for desktop apps).

3. I have used it for some of my app and got valuable comments. Although 2 years back.

Hope this helps.

you might need quotes around the [EDIT**] variables when you pass them to your custom action.

Permissions and Permission Propogation

Tristan Rhodes13-Sep-09 23:16

13-Sep-09 23:16

Hi Guys,

Scenario:
I have a .Net app that creates a new User and then assigns full read / write permissions for that user to the application Program Files and application HKLM Registry section. The application then runs under the current user and impersonates the authorised user to modify the appropriate sections when nescessary.

The permissions assignment is assigned with the following code:

//Registry - Propogated Rule
RegistryAccessRule rule = new RegistryAccessRule(LOGON_USER_NAME, RegistryRights.FullControl, InheritanceFlags.ContainerInherit | InheritanceFlags.ObjectInherit, PropagationFlags.InheritOnly, AccessControlType.Allow);
RegistrySecurity security = new RegistrySecurity();
security.AddAccessRule(rule);

//Create Test Sub Key in Registry with permissions for the MicaUser
RegistryKey root = Registry.LocalMachine.CreateSubKey(SUB_KEY_ROOT, RegistryKeyPermissionCheck.ReadWriteSubTree);
root.SetAccessControl(security);


//File System - Propogated Rule
FileSystemAccessRule rule = new FileSystemAccessRule(LOGON_USER_NAME, FileSystemRights.FullControl, InheritanceFlags.ContainerInherit | InheritanceFlags.ObjectInherit, PropagationFlags.InheritOnly, AccessControlType.Allow);
DirectorySecurity security = new DirectorySecurity();
security.SetAccessRule(rule);

//Create Test Directory in Program Files with permissions for the MicaUser
Directory.CreateDirectory(dir);
Directory.SetAccessControl(dir, security);

Problem:
When i check the registry / directory, i have full permissions for any existing folders / subkeys below the dir / subkey Root, but not for the root itself.

i.e.

HKLM\Software\MyApp\TestKey

I Assign the permisssions to MyApp, then my User has full permissions on TestKey, but i am unable to create SubKeys in MyApp, nor delete the TestKey SubKey, nor set values in MyApp. This also applies to the ACL permissions on folders.

My question is - how do i setup both propogating privelages, and full read / write permissions on the root item?

I have managed to open up the Registry sub key root by adding two seperate permissions:

RegistrySecurity security = new RegistrySecurity();

     //Non Propogated Rule
     RegistryAccessRule rule = new RegistryAccessRule(LOGON_USER_NAME, RegistryRights.FullControl,InheritanceFlags.None, PropagationFlags.None, AccessControlType.Allow);
     security.AddAccessRule(rule);

     //Propogated Rule
     rule = new RegistryAccessRule(LOGON_USER_NAME, RegistryRights.FullControl, InheritanceFlags.ContainerInherit | InheritanceFlags.ObjectInherit, PropagationFlags.InheritOnly, AccessControlType.Allow);
     security.AddAccessRule(rule);

This works for the registry, but not for the directory permissions.

Any thoughts?

Regards
