I have been noticing that some software engineering jobs are asking for .NET developers, but I have never been given a definition (formal or informal) of what experience is required to be able to call yourself a .NET developer.
I have taken a couple classes where we needed to make Windows Forms every other week using Visual Studio, but I am pretty sure this is not sufficient. I'm assuming you need to be familiar with most if not all technologies on the .NET Framework Developer Center , but I could be wrong, which is why I am asking. :-)
So, what skills do you need to be able to market yourself as a .NET developer? Or more specifically, what do employers expect you to know if you market yourself as a .NET developer?

A . NET Software Developer is a software developer who specialises in building software for Microsoft's Windows platform. They work with programming languages compatible with Microsoft's . NET framework, including VB.NET, C# (C sharp) and F# (F sharp).
Net developer to build software using languages and technologies of the . NET framework. You will create applications from scratch, configure existing systems and provide user support. In this role, you should be able to write functional code with a sharp eye for spotting defects.
NET seems to be expanding with every passing day. Unquestionably, taking up a career in Dot Net stream makes you versatile, talented, and the most sought after in the area of programming. However, similar to other markets, even this one is facing strict competition.
NET is dead as a future framework for web applications and software. Microsoft won't be building for it and they won't support it. But software that already runs on . NET and is no longer being updated will still run on it.
Generally what's meant by that is a fairly intimate familiarity with one (or probably more) of the .NET languages (C#, VB.NET, etc.) and one (or less probably more) of the .NET stacks (WinForms, ASP.NET, WPF, etc.).
As for a specific "formal definition", I don't think you'll find one beyond that. The job description should be specific about what they're looking for. I wouldn't consider a job listing that asks for a ".NET developer" and provides no more detail than that to be sufficiently descriptive.
