Question 3

You are developing an assembly that will be used by multiple applications.
You need to install the assembly in the Global Assembly Cache (GAC).
Which two actions can you perform to achieve this goal? Each correct answer presents a complete solution.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

A. Use the Assembly Registration tool (regasm.exe) to register the assembly and to copy the assembly to the GAC.
B. Use the Strong Name tool (sn.exe) to copy the assembly into the GAC.
C. Use Microsoft Register Server (regsvr32.exe) to add the assembly to the GAC.
D. Use the Global Assembly Cache tool (gacutil.exe) to add the assembly to the GAC.
E. Use Windows Installer 2.0 to add the assembly to the GAC.

Answer : DE

Explanation:
There are two ways to deploy an assembly into the global assembly cache:
Use an installer designed to work with the global assembly cache. This is the preferred option for installing assemblies into the global assembly cache.
Use a developer tool called the Global Assembly Cache tool (Gacutil.exe), provided by the Windows
Software Development Kit (SDK).
Note:
In deployment scenarios, use Windows Installer 2.0 to install assemblies into the global assembly cache. Use the Global Assembly Cache tool only in development scenarios, because it does not provide assembly reference counting and other features provided when using the Windows Installer.

Question 4

You are debugging an application that calculates loan interest. The application includes the following code. (Line numbers are included for reference only.)

You need to ensure that the debugger breaks execution within the CalculateInterest() method when the loanAmount variable is less than or equal to zero in all builds of the application.
What should you do?

A. Insert the following code segment at line 03:Trace.Assert(loanAmount > 0);
B. Insert the following code segment at line 03:Debug.Assert(loanAmount > 0);
C. Insert the following code segment at line 05:Debug.Write(loanAmount > 0);
D. Insert the following code segment at line 05:Trace.Write(loanAmount > 0);

Answer : A

Explanation:
By default, the Debug.Assert method works only in debug builds. Use the Trace.Assert method if you want to do assertions in release builds. For more information, see Assertions in Managed Code.

Question 5

You are developing an application that accepts the input of dates from the user.
Users enter the date in their local format. The date entered by the user is stored in a string variable named inputDate. The valid date value must be placed in a
DateTime variable named validatedDate.
You need to validate the entered date and convert it to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). The code must not cause an exception to be thrown.
Which code segment should you use?

A. Option A
B. Option B
C. Option C
D. Option D

Answer : A

Explanation:
AdjustToUniversal parses s and, if necessary, converts it to UTC.
Note: The DateTime.TryParse method converts the specified string representation of a date and time to its DateTime equivalent using the specified culture- specific format information and formatting style, and returns a value that indicates whether the conversion succeeded.

Question 13

You are developing an application by using C#.
The application includes an object that performs a long running process.
You need to ensure that the garbage collector does not release the object's resources until the process completes.
Which garbage collector method should you use?

A. WaitForFullGCComplete()
B. WaitForFullGCApproach()
C. KeepAlive()
D. WaitForPendingFinalizers()

Answer : C

Explanation:
The GC.KeepAlive method references the specified object, which makes it ineligible for garbage collection from the start of the current routine to the point where this method is called.
The purpose of the KeepAlive method is to ensure the existence of a reference to an object that is at risk of being prematurely reclaimed by the garbage collector.
The KeepAlive method performs no operation and produces no side effects other than extending the lifetime of the object passed in as a parameter.

Question 14

An application includes a class named Person. The Person class includes a method named GetData.
You need to ensure that the GetData() method can be used only by the Person class and not by any class derived from the Person class.
Which access modifier should you use for the GetData() method?

A. Public
B. Protected internal
C. Internal
D. Private
E. Protected

Answer : D

Explanation:
The GetData() method should be private. It would then only be visible within the Person class.
