Example of a site map creation method

public class SampleLoader : LSpaceDesign.GoogleMap.SiteMapLoader {

    public SampleLoader() {

    }

    private static string inPath = ""; //static member variable

MCSD .NET training is basically not relevant now.  Starting in approximately one month it will be replaced by the MCPD Enterprise certification instead.  The exams for that are not yet publically available, and the preparation material is not very good at all.

If you are wanting basic 'parrot' learning, testking.com is a good place to get exam questions from.

If you would prefer to do actual hands on practical testing, there are many hot labs and trainingg exercises available from Microsoft for free.

try this:  http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=site%3Amicrosoft.com+hot+lab+free+online+%22C%23%22&meta=

to see links to many examples.

The best option would be to sign up to things like the MSDN Flash.  There are often special notices and offers, such are 2 for 1, or free resit exams, reduced price sftware, etc.
