I’m conducting an interview in 45 min (my second ever!) for a candidate who’s pretty junior and states she knows VB and C#. I do not have any experience in either of those languages.
Does anyone have any good simple interview questions for these languages that I can ask that will be informative without being too intimidating?
Note: I’m looking for language-specific ones, and not of the FizzBuzz variety (which I’m already planning on asking).

UPDATE: It’s over – and thanks everyone! As Jon Skeet says – it’s hard to ask questions to which you don’t know the answers but I did find that her reaction to the question being asked, even without the answer, was pretty telling and showed me immediately whether or not she was familiar with the concepts being presented.
There are numerous lists on the web.
The C# ones one Mark Wagner’s blog are quite good and range from the fairly simple to quite hard so you can go as deep as you like. However, as the commentators have pointed out some of them are in danger of becoming out date (if they’re not already) – so use them as a guide.
