		 if for mircosoft  then i'm assuming.. 
Not java..   
 
So i would go with questions on pointers and thier usage. 
 
Give them a set of data, with some odd inter-relations and 20 mins and get them to put it in an effiecent  abstract data structure. 
 
also some inheiritance and some error catching/handling questions wouldn't hurt. 
 
If the coder is strong in theory, with good envisioning skills, that's more important to me then syntax.
