MCSD .net exam books

|
| What are the best books/study guides for the MCSD .net
exams? I went on Amazon and read buyers comments on some
of the books available, none were to flattering.
Thanks

| I really like these. They have a good practice test and review after each
chapter.

Microsoft Press Books?

| I am just finishing up the windows app book. It has vb and c# and if they
would have just stuck with one language they could have probably cut about
100 pages off and it would have been far less confusing. If I am taking
the vb test and they tell me that something is public by default, the next
line I read doesn't need to say that it is private in c#.

| I just finished developing windows based applications with visual basic.net
and c#.net book. I think reading this book will not let me pass the exam.
Most of the subjects covered very briefly. Need to read another book.

| Hello All,
I'm preparing for 70-306. I've read a few chapters of the
book(MCAD/MCSD Visual Basic(r) .NET(tm) Windows(r)
Applications Study Guide (Exam 70-306)
Author(s): David Panagrosso Lyle Bryant Larry Chambers
Kenneth Lind
), from the same co-author as
c# book. Full of errors indeed, and sometimes literally
copying entire paragraphs from .net framework
documentation. Sometimes confusing in explaining
complicated topics, such as security.
Bye,
Koen Hakvoort

yep I've got to chapter 8 so far and there are a bunch of errors some
of which are stated as !Exam Watch! items then are end of chapter
questions.
There is great use of VB6 backwards compatibility stuff outside of the
VB6 upgrade chapter (InStr, Len, CDate, etc.) rather than using the
..net methods.
Details is skipped over; "ToolTips add a property to all controls",
rather than "ToolTip implements IExtenderProvider and adds pseudo
property to controls" and basic stuff is explained to death (there are
7 pages on how to use MsgBox).
I am having to take things slowly as I cannot rely on the accuracy of
the information in the book.
<rant>My most recent grievence is "The TabIndex property of controls
on a form in a GroupBox have a decimal value". No they bloody
don't.</rant>
However I am relying on the book to let me know the detail of that is
in the exam, something I have not found available on MS web site.
I may have to get a book for the C# exam and use that as the only
difference between the exam is syntax and VB upgrade (which I won't be
studying anyway as I've never done vb6)

| I used the Microsoft Exam prep book. Personally, they are very good. Since
I use them as a means of de-programming myself from my normal development
thought process. Also, I usually would have worked with the language for
some time and would have read a lot of articles and other books that are
not Microsoft's. For the exam, I review the MCSD Training Kit and once I'm
done, I take the test. So far it's work in the old MCSD and it's working in
this 1. I now have 2 exams to go 320 & 315. Done 300 and 316 and 229.
