-
Those who are planning to take 70-532 or 70-535 in near future or in 2019, you may have to wait for while. Microsoft has restructured the Azure certifications into more role based azure certificates. Those who have already pursued the certifications in past or recently, need to take respective transition certifications to get the certifications relevant with respect to new topics and valid after 31st Dec 2018.

Folks who have already scheduled and preparing for the 70-532 & 70-535 exams they can continue to do so as these exams are valid til 31,December 2018. Additionally they need to take transition certifications.
Please read the below link for more details.
Officially this has been updated in respective exam pages in Microsoft learning portal.
This announcement was made recently in Microsoft Ignite 2018 event. And not sure when this changes will be effectively applied in other countries, as currently this info is posted only on US sites, which is missing in other country specific sites. There is no information as such.

And yet it is not updated in learning portal for india https://www.microsoft.com/en-in/learning/exam-70-532.aspx. But in general, i believe Microsoft will roll out this changes globally soon.

C# Data types

C# Primitive Data types : Any data types directly supported by the compiler are called primitive types. Primitive types map directly to types that exist in the base class library. These basic data types are used across programming language compilers regardless of managed code or unmanaged code, since it is essential to meet needs of storing the basic data(Numeric, character, Bool) in application development. Let us see Primitive Data types of C# : The CLR supports two different types    Value Type    Reference Type   Value Type : The variable representing the instance doesn’t contain a pointer to an instance; the variable contains the fields of the instance itself. Value type instances are usually allocated on a thread’s stack Value types are derived from System.ValueType 1. Value types holds the value itself and values are allocated in stack. 2. Being represented in two forms (boxing & unboxing). 3. You can't create new value ty

Checking Overflow in C#

When you use value type in your application for arithmetic operations, you will need to check the boundaries of data types after the operation completes every time i.e., have to ensure the value of data type does not exceeds the MaxValue of the data type, Overflow does not occur. Else you will get overflow Exception at runtime. Different languages treat this overflow in different Manner( C, C++ does not throw overflow exception rather wrap up the value, MS Visual Basic throws the Overflow Exception by default) Whereas   .Net does not check for the overflow exception until we explicitly we tell the CLR to check for Overflow Exception. By Default Overflow check is set off . Let's see an Example : {                      short val = 32767;        val =   (short)(val + 40000);  } In above code, we try to add constant value to Val variable of short data type and error was expected when i ran   the application. But Surprise, it runs with no Exception But Why ?? Let'
