for large documents in which the program only needs to process a small portion
of the document.

Q21. What is encapsulation?
Ans. Encapsulation is the OOPs concept of binding the attributes and behaviors
in a class, hiding the implementation of the class and exposing the
functionality.
Q22. What is Overloading?
Ans. When we add a new method with the same name in a same/derived class but
with different number/types of parameters, the concept is called overluoad and
this ultimately implements Polymorphism.
Q23. What is Overriding?
Ans. When we need to provide different implementation in a child class than the
one provided by base class, we define the same method with same signatures in
the child class and this is called overriding.
Q24. What is a Delegate?
Ans. A delegate is a strongly typed function pointer object that encapsulates a
reference to a method, and so the function that needs to be invoked may be
called at runtime.

Ans. Yes, though this is done clientside using an alert, prompt or confirm or
by opening a new
web page that looks like a
messagebox.
Q40. What is managed data?
Ans. The data for which the memory management is taken care by .Net runtime’s
garbage collector, and this includes tasks for allocation de-allocation.
Q41. How to instruct the garbage collector to collect

Q43. What are Partial Classes in Asp.Net 2.0?
Ans. In .NET 2.0, a class definition may be split into multiple physical files
but partial classes do not make any difference to the compiler as during
compile time, the compiler groups all the partial classes and treats them as a
single class.

.NET?
Ans. CAS is the feature of the .NET security model that determines whether an
application or a piece of code is permitted to run and decide the resources it
can use while running.
Q48. What is Multi-tasking?
Ans. It is a feature of
operating systems through
which multiple programs may run on the operating system at the same time, just
like a scenario where a Notepad, a Calculator and the
Control Panel are open at
the same time.
Q49. What is Multi-threading?
Ans. When an application performs different tasks at the same time, the
application is said to exhibit
multithreading as several threads of a process are running.2
Q50. What is a Thread?
Ans. A thread is an activity started by a process and its the basic unit to
which an operating
system allocates processor
resources.
Q51. What does AddressOf in VB.NET operator do?
Ans. The AddressOf operator is used in VB.NET to create a delegate object to a
method in order to point to it.
Q52. How to refer to the current thread of a method in .NET?
Ans. In order to refer to the current thread in .NET, the Thread.CurrentThread
method can be used. It is a public static property.
Q53. How to pause the execution of a thread in .NET?
Ans. The thread execution can be paused by invoking the
Thread.Sleep(IntegerValue) method where IntegerValue is an integer that
determines the milliseconds time frame for which the thread in context has to
sleep.
Q54. How can we force a thread to sleep for an infinite period?
Ans. Call the Thread.Interupt() method.
Q55. What is Suspend and Resume in .NET Threading?
Ans. Just like a song may be paused and played using a music player, a thread
may be paused using Thread.Suspend method and may be started again using the
Thread.Resume method. Note that sleep method immediately forces the thread to
sleep whereas the suspend method waits for the thread to be in a persistable
position before pausing its activity.
Q56. How can we prevent a deadlock in .Net threading?
Ans. Using methods like Monitoring, Interlocked classes, Wait handles, Event
raising from between threads, using the ThreadState property.
Q57. What is Ajax?
Ans. Asyncronous Javascript and XML - Ajax
is a combination of client side technologies that sets up asynchronous
communication between the
user interface and the web server so that partial page rendering occur instead
of complete page postbacks.
Q58. What is XmlHttpRequest in Ajax?
Ans. It is an object in
Javascript that allows the
browser to communicate to a web server asynchronously without making a
postback.
Q59. What are the different modes of storing an ASP.NET session?
Ans. InProc (the session state is stored in the memory space of the
Aspnet_wp.exe process but the session information is lost when IIS reboots),
StateServer (the Session state is serialized and stored in a separate process
call Viewstate is an object in .NET that automatically persists control setting
values across the multiple requests for the same page and it is internally
maintained as a hidden field on the
web page though its hashed
for security reasons.
Q60. What is a delegate in .NET?
Ans. A delegate in .NET is a class that can have a reference to a method, and
this class has a signature that can refer only those methods that have a
signature which complies with the class.
Q61. Is a delegate a type-safe functions pointer?
Ans. Yes
Q62. What is the return type of an event in .NET?
Ans. There is No return type of an event in .NET.

Q65. How to prevent overriding of a class in .NET?
Ans. Use the keyword NotOverridable in
VB.NET and sealed in C#.
Q66. How to prevent inheritance of a class in .NET?
Ans. Use the keyword NotInheritable in VB.NET and sealed in C#.
Q67. What is the purpose of the MustInherit keyword in VB.NET?
Ans. MustInherit
keyword in VB.NET is used to
create an abstract class.
Q68. What is the access modifier of a member function of in an Interface
created in .NET?
Ans. It is always public, we cant use any other modifier other than the public
modifier for the member functions of an Interface.
Q69. What does the virtual keyword in C# mean?
Ans. The virtual keyword signifies that the method and property may be
overridden.
Q70. How to create a new unique ID for a control?
Ans. ControlName.ID = "ControlName" + Guid.NewGuid().ToString();
//Make use of the Guid class
Q71A. What is a HashTable in .NET?
Ans. A Hashtable is an object that implements the IDictionary interface, and
can be used to store key value pairs. The key may be used as the index to
access the values for that index.
Q71B. What is an ArrayList in .NET?
Ans. Arraylist object is used to store a list of values in the form of a list,
such that the size of the arraylist can be increased and decreased dynamically,
and moreover, it may hold items of different types. Items in an arraylist may
be accessed using an index.
Q72. What is the value of the first item in an Enum? 0 or 1?
Ans. 0
Q73. Can we achieve operator overloading in VB.NET?
Ans. Yes, it is supported in the .NET 2.0 version, the "operator"
keyword is used.
Q74. What is the use of Finalize method in .NET?
Ans. .NET Garbage collector performs all the clean up activity of the managed
objects, and so the finalize method is usually used to free up the unmanaged
objects like File objects,
Windows

API objects, Database connection objects, COM objects etc.
Q75. How do you save all the data in a dataset in .NET?
Ans. Use the AcceptChanges method which commits all the changes made to the
dataset since last time Acceptchanges was performed.
Q76. Is there a way to suppress the finalize process inside the garbage
collector forcibly in .NET?
Ans. Use the GC.SuppressFinalize() method.
Q77. What is the use of the dispose() method in .NET?
Ans. The Dispose method in .NET belongs to IDisposable interface and it is best
used to release unmanaged objects like
File objects, Windows API
objects,
Database connection objects,
COM objects etc from the memory. Its
performance is better than
the finalize() method.
Q78. Is it possible to have have different access modifiers on the get and
set methods of a property in .NET?
Ans. No we can not have different modifiers of a common property, which means
that if the access modifier of a property's get method is protected, and it
must be protected for the set method as well.
Q79. In .NET, is it possible for two catch blocks to be executed in one go?
Ans. This is NOT possible because once the correct catch block is executed then
the code flow goes to the finally block.
Q80. Is there any difference between System.String and System.StringBuilder
classes?
Ans. System.String is immutable by nature whereas System.StringBuilder can have
a mutable string in which plenty of processes may be performed.
