You are designing a sales and inventory tracking system by using Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 and Microsoft SQL Server 2008. The sales, inventory, and shipping tables will reside in different databases on different database servers.

You need to ensure that the tables are updated simultaneously.

What should you do?

You are designing a multi-tenant Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) application that will connect to a Microsoft SQL Server 2008 database. The WPF application will change the structure of database tables and views at runtime based on the tenant’s configuration.

The WPF application must meet the following requirements:
Keep each tenant’s data separate.
Allow changes to the structure of the tables and views for each tenant without interfering with other tenants’ data.

You need to recommend an approach for managing the database structure.

What should you recommend?

You are preparing to deploy a solution that includes a Windows Forms application and several COM components. Unsigned interop assemblies have been created for each of the COM components.

You need to recommend an approach for deploying the solution.

What should you recommend?

You are designing a .NET Framework 4 solution that contains a Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) application and a Windows Communication Framework (WCF) Web service. The WPF application will be deployed to users’ desktops located in the company’s corporate network. The WCF Web service will be deployed to a Web farm located in the company’s perimeter network. The firewall between the perimeter network and the Internet allows only HTTP and HTTPS traffic.

You need to recommend an approach for minimizing the attack surface of the WCF Web service.

What should you recommend?

You are designing updates to an existing Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) application that connects to a Microsoft SQL Server 2008 database. The application updates will require updates to the database.

You have the following requirements:
Prevent data loss.
Recover the database if the database update fails.

You need to recommend a database deployment strategy.
Which two actions should you recommend? (Each correct answer presents part of the solution. Choose two.)

You are designing an update to an existing Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) application. You plan to use Microsoft Visual Studio 2010. The updated WPF application will require a specific version of a third- party component.

You have the following requirements:
Deploy the update by using Windows Installer.
Update the WPF application only if the required version of the third-party component is present on the client computer.

You need to recommend configuration settings for the application installer.

Which property should you recommend be set?

You are designing an update to an existing Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) application. Users can purchase and download photographs from the company’s Web server by using the WPF application. Photographs must be viewable only when logged in as the user who purchased the photographs.

You need to recommend a download location for the photographs.

Which location should you recommend?

You are designing an n-tier solution that connects to a Microsoft SQL Server 2008 database.

You plan to deploy the database to development machines and to a staging database server from within Microsoft Visual Studio 2010. You plan to set up separate build configurations for development and staging. You also plan to deploy to multiple production database servers managed by an outside vendor.

You must not allow the outside vendor to access the visual Studio projects.

You need to recommend an approach for configuring and deploying the production database servers.

Which two actions should you recommend? (Each correct answer presents part of the solution. Choose two.)

You are designing a distributed Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) application.

You have the following requirements:
Ensure that all errors are logged in a central location. Ensure that the WPF application logs related errors within a single transaction.
Secure error information during transmission.

You need to recommend a strategy for collecting error information.

What should you recommend?

You are designing a distributed application that will be deployed to 5,000 users worldwide. Servers on five continents will host the Web services and the Microsoft SQL Server 2008 databases that support the application.

You have the following requirements:
Collect information about all errors associated with the application. Store and view all error information in a centralized location. Minimize the network bandwidth required for the transfer of error information.

You need to recommend a strategy for reporting error information.

Which strategy should you recommend?
