MS Exams not recognized from Pearson Vue

Microsoft has long been a partner with Pearson Vue and Prometric, certifying them both as Microsoft Exam Centers. However, this has changed and Pearson Vue is no longer a test provider.

Recently I logged on to Microsoft's MCP site to check the status of my account. I realized that my test transcripts did not show 2 exams that I have previously taken and passed. These exams were taken through Pearson Vue. After some additional digging, I discovered that Microsoft has dropped Pearson Vue as a testing provider. Effective January 1st, 2008, Vue patrons could no longer access their Microsoft exam records through vue.com. To resolve the problem, I contacted Microsoft Support and e-mailed them the results of the exams in question.

After this experience, I strongly urge all MCPs to log on to the MCP site to ensure all information is recent and accurate. If you have any questions about exams, please use the following info to contact customer service.

Working with double quotes (") in VB.Net

String manipulation in VB2005 is fairly simple. However, things can get a little tricky with the double quote character. How do you look for it in a string? How can you insert into a string? How do you remove it from a string? These are questions that may lead to confusion if you don't know what you're looking for. Ironically enough, in VB the double quote can also be used as an escape character when searching for it in a string. For example: Dim strTest As String strTest = """123""" 'Displays "123" (double quotes appear in the final result) strTest = """""123""" 'Displays ""123" (double quotes appear in the final result) strTest = "test\""test" 'Displays test\"test strTest = "test""test" 'Displays test"test In cases where you want to insert a double quote character, simply reference it unicode character designation, ch...

FoxCon 2019

This year I had the privilege of being invited to FoxCon for the 5th time.  FoxCon is a private invite-only conference.  It was started decades ago when FoxPro was one of the products from Microsoft.  Although the product is no longer supported, it is still widely used and loved at many organizations of various sizes.  The FoxCon conference targets FoxPro related topics but the organizers are always open to hear new topics. This year I presented 2 sessions: "SQL Server Security"  and "New Features in SSRS 2017".  Presenting to a technical audience is something I have always enjoyed.  However, it seems much more enjoyable presenting to this group of tech experts. I look forward to attending and possibly presenting again next year.
