QUESTION 1
You are developing a Microsoft .NET Framework 4 application.
You need to collect performance data to the event log after the application is deployed to the production environment.
Which two components should you include in the project? (Each correct answer presents part of the solution. Choose two.)

A. A trace listener
B. A debug listener
C. Debug.Asset() statements
D. Debug.WriteLine() statements
E. Trace.WriteLine() statements
Answer: B,C
Explanation: Tracing is a way for you to monitor the execution of your application while it is running.
Example:
For example, suppose you set up two listeners: a TextWriterTraceListener and an EventLogTraceListener. Each listener receives the same message. The TextWriterTraceListener would direct its output to a stream, and the EventLogTraceListener would direct its output to an event log.
The following example shows how to send output to the Listeners collection. C#VB
// Use this example when debugging. System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(“Error in Widget 42”);
// Use this example when tracing. System.Diagnostics.Trace.WriteLine(“Error in Widget 42”);


QUESTION 2
You use Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 and Microsoft .NET Framework 4 to create an
application. The application uses the ADO.NET Entity Framework to model entities.
You need to create a database from your model.
What should you do?

A. Run the edmgen.exe tool in FullGeneration mode.
B. Run the edmgen.exe tool in FromSSDLGeneration mode.
C. Use the Update Model Wizard in Visual Studio.
D. Use the Generate Database Wizard in Visual Studio. Run the resulting script against a Microsoft SQL Server database.
Answer: D
Explanation:
To update the database, right-click the Entity Framework designer surface and choose Generate Database From Model.
The Generate Database Wizard produces a SQL script file that you can edit and execute.


QUESTION 3
You use Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 and Microsoft .NET Framework 4 to develop an application that uses the Entity Framework. The application has an entity model that includes SalesTerritory and SalesPerson entities as shown in the following diagram.


You need to calculate the total bonus for all sales people in each sales territory.
Which code segment should you use?
A. from person in model.SalesPersons group person by person.SalesTerritory into territoriesByPerson
select new
{
SalesTerritory = territoriesByPerson.Key,
TotalBonus = territoriesByPerson.Sum(person => person.Bonus) };
B. from territory in model.SalesTerritories group territory by territory.SalesPersons into personByterritories
select new
{
SalesTerritory = personByterritories.Key,
TotalBonus = personByterritories.Key.Sum(person => person.Bonus) };
C. model.SalesPersons
.GroupBy(person => person.SalesTerritory)
.SelectMany(group => group.Key.SalesPersons)
.Sum(person => person.Bonus); D. model.SalesTerritories
.GroupBy(territory => territory.SalesPersons)
.SelectMany(group => group.Key)
.Sum(person => person.Bonus);
Answer: A


QUESTION 4
You use Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 and Microsoft .NET Framework 4 to create an application. The application connects to a Microsoft SQL Server database. The application uses DataContexts to query the database.
The application meets the following requirements:
Stores customer data offline.
Allows users to update customer records while they are disconnected from the server.
Enables offline changes to be submitted back to the SQL Server by using the DataContext object.
You need to ensure that the application can detect all conflicts that occur between the offline customer information submitted to the SQL Server and the server version.
You also need to ensure that you can roll back local changes.
What should you do?

A. Add a try/catch statement around calls to the SubmitChanges method of the DataContext object and catch ChangeConflictExceptions.
B. Add a try/catch statement around calls to the SubmitChanges method of the DataContext object and catch SqlExceptions.
C. Override the Update operation of the DataContext object. Call the ExecuteDynamicUpdate method to generate the update SQL.
D. Call the SubmitChanges method of the DataContext object.
Pass System.Data.Linq.ConflictMode.ContinueOnConflict to the method.
Answer: D
Explanation:
FailOnFirstConflict Specifies that attempts to update the database should stop immediately when the first concurrency conflict error is detected.
ContinueOnConflict Specifies that all updates to the database should be tried, and that concurrency conflicts should be accumulated and returned at the end of the process. ExecuteDynamicUpdate() Method Called inside update override methods to redelegate to LINQ to SQL the task of generating and executing dynamic SQL for update operations. ConflictMode Enumeration
(https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb345922.aspx) DataContext.ExecuteDynamicUpdate Method (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.data.linq.datacontext.executedynamicupdate.aspx)


QUESTION 5
You use Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 and Microsoft .NET Framework 4 to create an
application. The application connects to a Microsoft SQL Server database. You use the ADO.NET Entity Framework to model entities.
You need to add a new type to your model that organizes scalar values within an entity.
You also need to map stored procedures for managing instances of the type.
What should you do?

A. Add the stored procedures in the SSDL file along with a Function attribute. Define a complex type in the CSDL file.
Map the stored procedure in the MSL file with a ModificationFunctionElement.
B. Add the stored procedures in the SSDL file along with a Function attribute. Define a complex type in the CSDL file.
Map the stored procedure in the MSL file with an AssociationEnd element.
C. Use the edmx designer to import the stored procedures.
Derive an entity class from the existing entity as a complex type.
Map the stored procedure in the MSL file with an AssociationEnd element. D. Add the stored procedures in the SSDL file along with a Function attribute. Derive an entity class from the existing entity as a complex type.
Map the stored procedure in the MSL file with a ModificationFunctionElement.
Answer: A
Explanation:
EndProperty Element (MSL) (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb399578.aspx) AssosiationEnd Attribute (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc716774.aspx)
