Rating:

The Microsoft test 70-553 is designed to measure an individual's ability to develop and implement rich client applications that target the Windows Forms platform by using the .NET Framework 2.0. The test also measures your ability to build interactive, data-driven Web-based applications with Web forms, ASP.NET, and the .NET Framework for both intranet and Internet uses. Before taking the 70-553 test, you should practice the following:

1. Develop .NET Framework applications by using system types.


2. Improve type safety and application performance by using generic collections.


3. Develop .NET Framework applications by implementing interfaces that comply with standard contracts.


4. Embed configuration management functionality into .NET applications.


5. Debug and trace .NET Framework applications by using the System.Diagnostics namespace.


6. Use runtime serialization techniques to serialize or deserialize an object or an object graph.


7. Control the serialization of an object into XML format by using the System.Xml.Serialization namespace.


8. Access files and folders by using the File System classes of the System.IO namespace.


9. Compress or decompress stream information in .NET Framework applications.


10. Implement access control to improve the security of .NET Framework applications.


11. Implement a custom authentication scheme and control permissions for resources by using the System.Security.Authentication and System.Security.Permission classes respectively.


12. Encrypt, decrypt, and hash data as well as control code privileges in .NET applications.


13. Send e-mail to a Simple Mail Transfer Protocol server from .NET Framework applications.


14. Enhance the user interface of .NET Framework applications by using the System.Drawing namespace.


15. Add Web server controls to a Web Form and configure their properties programmatically.


16. Configure system-wide settings in the Machine.config file, and settings for a Web application in the Web.config file.


17. Manage configuration of a Web application by using the Web Site Administration Tool.


18. Redirect users to another Web page by using a server-side method.


19. Implement cross-page postbacks.


20. Convert HTML server controls to HTML elements.


21. Use tabular and hierarchical data source controls to return tabular and hierarchical data respectively.


22. Display data by using simple, composite, and hierarchical data-bound controls.


23. Configure a connection to a database graphically by using the Connection Wizard, Server Explorer, and the connection class.


24. Control connection pooling by configuring ConnectionString values based on database type.


25. Perform transactions by using the ADO.NET Transaction object.


26. Retrieve data by using a DataReader object and build SQL commands visually in Server Explorer.


27. Perform database operations by using a command object.


28. Store and retrieve binary large object (BLOB) data types in a database.


29. Create a composite Web application control.


30. Handle user control events within the user control code-declaration block or code-behind file.


31. Copy a Web application to a target server by using the Copy Web tool.


32. Precompile a Web application by using the Publish Web utility.


33. Troubleshoot a Web application by using ASP.NET tracing.


34. Optimize performance by using the ASP.NET Cache object.


35. Implement a consistent page design by using master pages.


36. Customize a Web page by using themes and user profiles.


37. Implement Web Parts in a Web application.


38. Establish a user's identity by using forms authentication.


39. Use authorization to establish the rights of an authenticated user.


40. Use login controls to control access to a Web application.


41. Create a mobile Web application project.


42. Use device-specific rendering to display controls on a variety of devices.


43. Use adaptive rendering to modify the appearance of Web server controls.


44. Manage control layout on a Windows Form. Group and arrange controls by using the container controls such as the Panel control, GroupBox control, TabControl control, FlowLayoutPanel control, and TableLayoutPanel control.


45. Use the IDE to add a control to a Windows Form or other container control of a project at design time and runtime.


46. Create and configure a MenuStrip and ContextMenuStrip component on a Windows Form.


47. Implement data-bound controls by using the DataGridView control to display and update the tabular data contained in a data source.


48. Configure a connection to a database by using the Connection Wizard and Server Explorer.


49. Open and close an ADO.NET connection to a database.


50. Read, write, and validate XML by using the XmlReader and XmlWriter classes.


51. Create, configure, and customize user assistance controls such as ProgressBar, StatusStrip and ScrollBar, and components such as PropertyGrid, ToolTip, ErrorProvider, and HelpProvider.


52. Manage a background process by using the BackgroundWorker component.


53. Install a Windows Forms application on a client computer and from a server by using ClickOnce deployment technology.
