Hi, Geektoo.
NOTE: I am guessing that when you say you are using VB 4.0, you are referring to VB 2010 with .NET 4.0. Most people usually say the version numbers this way. There was actually a COM-based VB 4.0 released by Microsoft in the '90s but I assume you
are using .NET. If you ARE still using VB 4.0, you have a lot to learn to prepare! ;)
Microsoft hasn't had language-specific certifications for a long time - since .NET 1.0 in 2002. I earned the C# certification titles ten years ago. Instead, starting with .NET 2.0, they have offered exams that are specific to versions of the .NET framework.
Up until .NET 4.5, when you started a certification exam, it would ask you if you wanted to see the questions/answers in C# or VB, but they made no mention of what language you use in the exam results or in your earned certification titles.
I suspect the best exam for you would be a Windows Desktop certification for .NET 4.0: http://www.microsoft.com/learning/en-us/exam-70-511.aspx It will ask you
if you want to see the questions in C# or VB. By passing the exam, you earn the MCTS titles for Windows Desktop development.
Looking at the new .NET 4.5.x MCSD certification titles (http://www.microsoft.com/learning/en-us/mcsd-certification.aspx), it seems Microsoft assumes all new apps
we create will be using JavaScript or C# for either Web apps, Windows 8.x store-front apps, or SharePoint apps. No WPF - no Windows Forms. This is not "real world" in my opinion but that's what they offer. Maybe they will create more exams/titles in
the future or continue to extend the availability for the VS 2010/.NET 4.0 exams.
Best wishes and good luck!
Best wishes, Davin Mickelson
