    If you plan to develop applications by using Visual Studio 2010 and the Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0, the Microsoft Certified Professional Developer (MCPD) on Visual Studio 2010 certifications can help you validate your skills and abilities. You should have two to three years of experience using the technologies covered in the exam. The available certification paths include the following:

    ·         Windows Developer 4—for developers who build rich client applications for the Windows Forms platform by using the Microsoft .NET Framework 4.

    There is no upgrade for the MCTS in 2.0 to 4.0 because getting an MCTS on version 4.0 only requires passing one exam (contrary to the MCTS on 2.0 which requiered two exams).

    If you want to get the MCTS on Web development on .Net 4.0, you only need to pass exam 70-515. There is no equivalent in version 4.0 to the old exam 70-536 that you needed as a prerequisite on version 2.0.

    Edit: If you want to go beyond MCTS and you wish to obtain the MCPD, then you also need three additional exams: 70-513 (WCF), 70-516 (Data) and 70-519 (PRO).
