30 C# Interview

Question

1. What is C#?
C# is a modern, object-oriented, and type-
safe programming language developed by
Microsoft as part of the .NET framework. It's
used to build a variety of applications
including web, desktop, mobile, and games.

2. What are the main features of C#?


• Object-Oriented
• Type-Safe
• Automatic Garbage Collection
• Rich Standard Library
• Versioning Support
• Interoperability

3. What is the difference between ref and


out parameters in C#?
• ref requires that the variable be
initialized before passing.
• out does not require initialization before
passing but must be assigned inside the
method.

4. What is the difference between == and


.Equals()?
• == checks for reference equality for
reference types.
• .Equals() checks for value equality and
can be overridden.
5. What are value types and reference
types in C#?
• Value types: stored in stack (e.g., int,
float, bool, struct)
• Reference types: stored in heap (e.g.,
class, array, string)

6. What is boxing and unboxing?


• Boxing: Converting a value type to
object type.
• Unboxing: Converting object type back
to value type.

7. What is the difference between


abstract class and interface?
• Abstract class: Can have
implementations; supports
constructors.
• Interface: Only method signatures;
multiple interfaces can be
implemented.

8. What is the difference between const,


readonly, and static?
• const: Compile-time constant.
• readonly: Runtime constant, assigned in
constructor.
• static: Belongs to the class, not
instance.

9. What is inheritance in C#?


Inheritance allows one class (child) to
inherit fields, methods, and properties from
another class (parent).

10. What is polymorphism?


Polymorphism allows methods to behave
differently based on the object that is
calling them. Achieved using method
overloading and method overriding.

11. What is encapsulation?


Encapsulation is the concept of hiding
internal details and exposing only
necessary components through access
modifiers.

12. What is the purpose of the using


statement in C#?
It ensures that IDisposable objects like file
streams are disposed of properly, even if an
exception occurs.

13. What is the difference between throw


and throw ex?
• throw: Preserves the original stack
trace.
• throw ex: Resets the stack trace.

14. What is the difference between Task,


async, and await?
• Task: Represents an asynchronous
operation.
• async: Marks a method as
asynchronous.
• await: Waits for the task to complete
without blocking the thread.

15. What is the difference between var,


dynamic, and object?
• var: Compile-time type inferred.
• dynamic: Type resolved at runtime.
• object: Base type of all types.
16. What are access modifiers in C#?
• public, private, protected, internal,
protected internal, private protected.

17. What is LINQ?


Language Integrated Query (LINQ) is used
to query collections in a consistent manner
using C# syntax.

18. What is the difference between


IEnumerable and IQueryable?
• IEnumerable: Executes in memory,
used for in-memory collections.
• IQueryable: Supports querying against
a database (deferred execution).
19. What is the difference between
override, new, and virtual?
• virtual: Base method that can be
overridden.
• override: Derived method that overrides
the base.
• new: Hides the base class method.

20. What is a delegate in C#?


A delegate is a type-safe function pointer
that can reference a method with a specific
signature.

21. What is an event in C#?


An event is a way for a class to notify other
classes when something happens, using
delegates.
22. What is a nullable type?
Allows value types (like int) to hold null
values using int?.

23. What is the difference between


Dispose() and Finalize()?
• Dispose(): Explicitly frees resources.
• Finalize(): Called by GC, not
deterministic.

24. What is a struct in C#?


A lightweight value type that doesn’t
support inheritance but can implement
interfaces.

25. What is a static class?


A class that cannot be instantiated and
contains only static members.
26. What is dependency injection?
A design pattern where dependencies are
provided rather than created within the
class, improving testability and
maintainability.

27. What is the params keyword?


Allows a method to accept a variable
number of arguments as an array.

28. What is a lambda expression?


A concise way to represent anonymous
methods using =>.
Example: (x, y) => x + y

29. What is a tuple in C#?


A data structure to hold a set of elements
(can be different types).
Example: (int, string) person = (1, "John");

30. What is async/await and how does it


work?
It allows asynchronous programming
where async marks a method for async
operations and await pauses execution
until the awaited task completes.
