Most important parts of .Net

Also Member Access modifiers, i.e when to use Protected, Static, Private, Public etc and general OO techiniques

And if an agent asks you to do a 'quick test' tell them to swivel
I don't mind being grilled by a techy manager at a company, but I'm not having some pimp trying to catch me out on something they don't even understand.

This Scott Hanselman article might give you some ideas.

There are some questions/topics that tend to crop up fairly regularly e.g. (apologies for the C# slant)

DataSet vs. DataReader
Dispose & Finalize patterns
Collections (dictionaries, generics, etc.)
new & override modifiers
Assemblies
Nullable types (less frequent that one)

I've also been quizzed on the Enterprise Application Blocks in the past, and questions on design patterns (not .NET specific) are also common in my experience.

If the role is for ASP.NET then expect questions on postbacks, ViewState, SessionState, ApplicationState, validators, etc. and if the role specifically states .NET 3.0/3.5 then you should of course expect questions on WCF (bindings, endpoints, etc) WWF (not the wrestling) and WPF.

well as you know I am a massive advocate of .Net and the possibilities in the .Net area for contractors.

As for stepping upto the plate, I think some very knowledgable people have already done that and supplied some excellent responses.

Good work folks.

Remember, plenty of room on the <TOOT><TOOT> .Net gravy train.

It's no wonder I'm stuck in my nice little embedded timewarp... I can't understand the words & TLAs anymore...

Of all the modern frameworky technologies, .NET is probably the easiest to pick up and blag, just watch out for Tay at al trying to catch you out on specialised knowledge. If you're willing to take a drop in rates while you 'pick it up' properly it can be done.
