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.

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.
