Abstract:.NETInterviewQuestionsandAnswersforBeginnersconsistsofthemostfrequentlyasked
questionsin.NET.Thislistof100+questionsandanswersgaugeyourfamiliaritywiththe.NETplatform.

Why.NETFramework?

.NET Framework is the most powerful development platform for building a variety of solutions on Windows.
For example, using the .NET Framework, you can create applications for Windows Desktop, Web
applications, Windows Phone applications, Windows Store applications, Windows Server, Windows Azure
(cloud)aswellasBotframeworksandcognitiveservices.

Before exploring the .NET Framework, we first have to understand the issues/pain areas which developers
havefacedinothertechnologies

ProgrammingwithWin32APIEarlierwewereusingWin32APIandClanguage.Thisparadigmdoes
not offer Object Oriented Features as C is a structured language. There is no better way of memory
managementeitherasitisdonemanually.UsingPointersisabigpainareafordevelopers.
ProgrammingwithVC++ManyofususeC++andMFSasaprogramminglanguagewhichoffersthe
features of Object Oriented Features. However C++ is built on top of C language and hence the
development can still cumbersome for many novice programmers who are dealing with memory
managementandpointers.
ProgrammingwithVisualBasic6.0Waybackin1998,VB6.0asadevelopmentlanguagehadmade
development efforts easier. For example designing complex UI, Data Centric applications and much
more. But VB 6.0 is not an object oriented language and is outdated now. When designing Multi
threadedapplication,westillhavetogobacktoWin32APIs.
Programming with COM Component Object Model is a specification which is used for developing
reusable components which can be called across the languages like VC++, Delphi. But with COM we
alsoget"DLLHell".DLLHellistheissueofmaintainingmultipleversionsofacomponentformultiple
applications.

Under.NETFramework,manyoftheseproblemshavebeenaddressedandresolved.

We have no. of languages which make developers to adapt the .NET Framework for application
development.

WhatisBCL?

TheBaseClassLibraryisaCommonLanguageInfrastructure.BCLencapsulatesalargenumberofcommon
functionalities which are available to all the .NET Languages. BCL makes the developers life much simpler
while implementing various functionalities like I/O operations, Data access operations, graphical user
interfaces and interfaces to various hardware devices by encapsulating them into various namespaces and
classes. It also encapsulates the services which are required by the latest real world applications. .NET
Frameworkapplications,componentsandthecontrolsarebuiltonBCL.

There are a number of namespaces and types available under various class libraries in .NET framework
which can be found here https://msdn.microsoft.com/enus/library/gg145045(v=VS.110).aspx

ExplainCLR,CTS,CLSunder.NETFramework?

Common Language Runtime is one of the main building blocks of Microsoft .NET Framework which is
responsibleforperformingvariousoperationsunder.NETFramework.

WhenyoudesigntheapplicationusingMicrosoft.NETlanguageslikeC#.NETorVB.NET,thelanguagehas
itsowncomplierwhichcompilesthecodeintocommonformatthatisCIL[CommonIntermediateLanguage].
ThenCILgetstargetedtoCLRwhichinturnperformsmanyoperations.ItconvertsCILintoNativecodewith
thehelpofJIT.

CLR also performs various other operations like Memory Management, Application Execution, Thread
Management,Securitychecks,loadtherequiredassembliesandtheirtypes.Thecodewhichismanagedby
CLR is also known as Managed Code. All the managed languages are handled by a single runtime that is
CLR.

Common Type System (CTS) defines how the types are defined and used in the Common Language
Runtime. CTS provides crosslanguage integration, type safety, and highperformance code execution. The
CommonTypeSystemforlanguageintegrationworksasfollows

WhenyoudefineanintegervariableinVB.NETanddeclareintegerinC#.NET,boththelanguagessharethe
sametypewhichisInt32,availableunder.NETFramework.

CTS defines rules which must be followed by languages in order to make objects written in one language
callableinotherlanguages.

Microsoft .NET Framework provides various primitive data types which can be used while developing
applicationsusingvariouslanguages.

Common Language Specification (CLS) is a set of rules. CLS rules also define a subset of CTS. By
definingcomponentsusingCLSfeaturesonly,developersareguaranteedtomakeuseofthesecomponents
in all the other languages which are CLS compliant languages. Most of the types which are defined under
.NETframeworkareCLScomplaint.

Whatisanapplicationserver?

As defined in Wikipedia, an application server is a software engine

(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_engine) that delivers applications
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_application) to client computers
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Client_computer)ordevices.Theapplicationserverrunsyourservercode.Some
well known application servers are IIS (Microsoft), WebLogic Server (BEA), JBoss (Red Hat), WebSphere
(IBM).

CompareC#andVB.NET

A detailed comparison can be found over here (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en

us/library/czz35az4(vs.80).aspx).

Whatisabaseclassandderivedclass?

A class is a template for creating an object. The class from which other classes derive fundamental
functionalityiscalledabaseclass.Fore.g.IfClassYderivesfromClassX,thenClassXisabaseclass.

Theclasswhichderivesfunctionalityfromabaseclassiscalledaderivedclass.IfClassYderivesfromClass
X,thenClassYisaderivedclass.

Whatisanextenderclass?

An extender class allows you to extend the functionality of an existing control. It is used in Windows forms
applicationstoaddpropertiestocontrols.

A demonstration of extender classes can be found over here (http://www.codemagazine.com/Article.aspx?

quickid=0301041).

Whatisinheritance?

Inheritance represents the relationship between two classes where one type derives functionality from a
secondtypeandthenextendsitbyaddingnewmethods,properties,events,fieldsandconstants.

C#supporttwotypesofinheritance:

Implementationinheritance

Interfaceinheritance

Whatisimplementationandinterfaceinheritance?

Whenaclass(type)isderivedfromanotherclass(type)suchthatitinheritsallthemembersofthebasetype
itisImplementationInheritance.

Whenatype(classorastruct)inheritsonlythesignaturesofthefunctionsfromanothertypeitisInterface
Inheritance.

In general Classes can be derived from another class, hence support Implementation inheritance. At the
same time Classes can also be derived from one or more interfaces. Hence they support Interface
inheritance.

Whatisinheritancehierarchy?

Theclasswhichderivesfunctionalityfromabaseclassiscalledaderivedclass.Aderivedclasscanalsoact
as a base class for another class. Thus it is possible to create a treelike structure that illustrates the
relationshipbetweenallrelatedclasses.Thisstructureisknownastheinheritancehierarchy.

Howdoyoupreventaclassfrombeinginherited?

In VB.NET you use the NotInheritable modifier to prevent programmers from using the class as a base
class.InC#,usethesealedkeyword.

DefineOverriding?

Overridingisaconceptwhereamethodinaderivedclassusesthesamename,returntype,andarguments
as a method in its base class. In other words, if the derived class contains its own implementation of the
methodratherthanusingthemethodinthebaseclass,theprocessiscalledoverriding.

Canyouusemultipleinheritancein.NET?

.NETsupportsonlysingleinheritance.Howeverthepurposeisaccomplishedusingmultipleinterfaces.

Whydontwehavemultipleinheritancein.NET?

There are several reasons for this. In simple words, the efforts are more, benefits are less. Different
languages have different implementation requirements of multiple inheritance. So in order to implement
multiple inheritance, we need to study the implementation aspects of all the languages that are CLR
compliant and then implement a common methodology of implementing it. This is too much of efforts.
Moreovermultipleinterfaceinheritanceverymuchcoversthebenefitsthatmultipleinheritancehas.

WhatisanInterface?

An interface is a standard or contract that contains only the signatures of methods or events. The
implementation is done in the class that inherits from this interface. Interfaces are primarily used to set a
commonstandardorcontract.

application.

Shared/Global/Public Assembly Global/Public Assemblies are the assemblies which are shared across
multiple applications. These assemblies are installed into Global Assembly Cache which acts as a shared
areaforalltheassemblies.

Global Assembly is identified with the fourpart assembly name Name of an Assembly, Version of an
assembly, and Culture of an Assembly and Public Key Token of an assembly. Global Assembly Cache can

sufficient memory for the new object, it does not search for the dead object and hence memory allocation

When Garbage collector gets executed, it first of all, finds all the live objects. After this garbage collector
updates the addresses of objects which will be compacted. Then it reclaims the memory of all the dead
objects.Oncethememoryisreclaimed,itmovesthelivedobjectstothenextGeneration.Forexample,the
