can any one be a VB.Net Certification if yes then What is Needed for VB.Net Certification.
Ahmad, I hate to be the bearer of bad news but rumour has it we (professional VB programmers/architects) are going to be hung out to dry and that there will be a convergence of C# and VB within the next couple VS iterations (which can also be read as - no more VB) . The powers that be at MS appear to care as much about what we, the people who made them what they are, think and want as ... to pick a name not too randomly out of a hat ... say, the US government does.
I will (hopefully) be retired by then and will possibly start a counseling center for the ones who can't handle it.

That's ridiculous. Convergence is being done for a number of excellent reasons -- cross-language compatibility, smaller codebase, etc. etc. Why would they want to eliminate a product that is doing well on the market?
Actually, MS is going in the direction of more .NET languages - F#, Python, Ruby, etc. If they are developing for such a small market as Ruby and Python, they would most certainly not ignore the VB market.
