VB competency questionnaire

[PeteG]

Hi,
Anyone know where I can get hold of a few sample vb questions, to test someones' competency at VB? I have been making my own up but, quite frankly, I'd prefer to use something a bit less biased towards my own views (and errors?!!) I'm looking for a fair spread of questions, beginner to advanced levels.
thx for any advice.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm,

Just a thought ...

Browse the various vb Forumns here. IMHO, the RANGE of issues is broad enough, the quantity is certainly more than sufficient. The only issue would be to select issues and answere which suit the depth you want or need. Of course, many of the posts are simply to trivial to use and you may often need to review the responses to get the best (or even occassionally "correct&quot answer, but given the time to work on it, the forums COULD be a good source of exam questions/material.

You might also want to look at the FAQs. When I interview people, I ask them how to transfer data from one form to another -- it really shows if the applicant understands OOP.

I ask it because it's a fundamental problem that people face in VB. Of course, if the position isn't relating to GUI development (like my present job, where VB is only used for middle tier development), I'd pick another, like: "What are the advantages of ADO parameters when using a query or queries?". Or "Given this piece of XML, tell me how you'd extract the elements, and why you chose that method."

Hmmm...

This is where I start (?) disagreeing with people.

In real life any competent programmer (VB or otherwise) can figure out how to answer any of these questions. I mean, come on: "how to transfer data or unicode through a winsock" is nothing specifically to do with VB (the question concerning moving variables betwen forms is, but only quantitively, not practically). if anybody reading this thinks it is, please provide a reasoned comment about how understanding Winsock is relevant to understanding VB at all...
