C# Programming Competency (Intermediate Level)
- 20m
- 20 questions
The C# Programming Competency (Intermediate Level) benchmark evaluates your skills in working with programming properties, indexers, reflection, and attributes in C#. You will be assessed on your ability to use debugging and security features in C# applications, manipulate data and objects using LINQ, perform data serialization, and use collections. Learners scoring high on this benchmark demonstrate the ability to skillfully utilize C# programming properties, indexers, reflection, and attributes while also mastering debugging, security features, LINQ, data serialization, and collections manipulation.
