Excuse the crosspost, but this thread gets much more traffic than the mcsd
one does.
Should I expect to see questions pertaining to using the VS.NET IDE, and
IDE-specific filetypes, on the exam? Or can I safely develop in a non-MS IDE
(such as WebMatrix or #Develop)?
The reason I ask is because the MSPress books devote quite a bit of print to
it. If I can skip it and get to the meat that would be terrific.
I would hope I could, since people who cannot afford VS.NET, or dont want to
install 1 GB worth of a 60 day trial application on their machine, would be
left out.
Can anyone clear this up?

The exams are called "Developing and Implementing Web Applications with
Microsoft Visual C#™ .NET and Microsoft Visual Studio .NET" and similar,
and Visual Studio .NET is part of the curriculum for the exams. You can
prepare for the exam by using a different tool to learn framework, but
you should also study Visual Studio .NET.

Anders:
Thanks for your reply. This is what I was looking for.
The exams are titled with VB.NET and C#.NET, but I (rightfully, I think)
assumed this pointed to the name of the programming languages, and NOT
Visual Studio.NET, which would clearly indicate that the IDE is part of the
exam's curriculum.
As a side note, I feel this is entirely inappropriate. Visual Studio as a
product may have an enormous dependency on .NET, but the exams should not
reflect the opposite (.NET depends on VS.NET), for this is not true. My
choice of IDE, whether manufactured by MS or not, should be entirely
irrelevant.
What matters most is whether I know the technology. For that all I need is
the .NET Framework and Notepad, if I wanted to use that.
Anyway, I digress. Thanks again.

I can't say that I disagree with that. And just between the two of us,
there aren't many development tool related questions on the exams. The
tools you need to learn are the command line tools such as sn.exe,
al.exe, resgen.exe and so on.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
