1. What is ASP.Net?

It is a framework developed by Microsoft

[http://career.guru99.com/category
/microsoft/] on which we can develop
new generation web sites using web
forms(aspx), MVC, HTML, Javascript, CSS
etc. Its successor of Microsoft Active
Server [http://career.guru99.com
/category/server/] Pages(ASP).
Currently there is ASP.NET 4.0, which is
used to develop web sites. There are
various page extensions provided by
Microsoft that are being used for web site
development. Eg: aspx, asmx, ascx, ashx,
cs, vb, html, XML etc.

2. What’s the use of

After the Init() and before the
Page_Load().

4. What is the difference between

Server.Transfer and Response.Redirect?

In Server.Transfer page processing

transfers from one page to the other
page without making a round-trip back to
the client’s browser. This provides a
faster response with a little less overhead
on the server. The clients url history list
or current url Server does not update in
case of Server.Transfer.

Response.Redirect is used to redirect the

user’s browser to another page or site.
It performs trip back to the client where
the client’s browser is redirected to the
new page. The user’s browser history
list is updated to reflect the new address.

ASP.NET?

6. Summary Validator

7. Which validator control you use if you

need to make sure the values in two
different controls matched?

Compare Validator control.

8. What is ViewState?

ViewState is used to retain the state of

server-side objects between page post
backs.

9. Where the viewstate is stored after

transported to the client and back to the
server, and is not stored on the server or
any other external source.

[http://career.guru99.com/wp-content
/uploads/2012/04/ASP-.net-Interview-

2. Out-of-Process.

In-Process stores the session in memory

on the web server.

Out-of-Process Session state

management stores data in an external
server. The external server may be either
a SQL Server or a State Server. All
objects stored in session are required to
be serializable for Out-of-Process state
management.

12. How you can add an event handler?

Using the Attributes property of server

side control.

e.g.

C#
1 btnSubmit.Attributes.Add("onMouseOver"

13. What is caching?

Caching is a technique used to increase

performance by keeping frequently
accessed data or files in memory. The
request for a cached file/data will be
accessed from cache instead of actual
location of that file.

14. What are the different types of

caching?
ASP.NET has 3 kinds of caching :

1. Output Caching,

2. Fragment Caching,

3. Data Caching.

15. Which type if caching will be used if

we want to cache the portion of a page
instead of whole page?

Fragment Caching: It caches the portion

of the page generated by the request. For
that, we can create user controls with the
below code:

XHTML
1 <%@ OutputCache Duration="120" VaryByParam

16. List the events in page life cycle.

1) Page_PreInit
2) Page_Init
3) Page_InitComplete
4) Page_PreLoad

8)Render

17. Can we have a web application

running without web.Config file?

18. Is it possible to create web
application with both webforms and

assembly references in the web forms
application to create hybrid application.

C#
1 System.Web.Mvc
2
3 System.Web.Razor
4
5 System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations

19. Can we add code files of different

languages in App_Code folder?

7 SmtpMail.Send (mailMess);

MailMessage and SmtpMail are classes

defined System.Web.Mail namespace.

22. How can we prevent browser from

caching an ASPX page?

object exposed by the Response object’s
Cache property:

2 Response.Write (DateTime.Now.ToLongTimeString

23. What is the good practice to

implement validations in aspx page?
Client-side validation is the best way to
validate data of a web page. It reduces
the network traffic and saves server

Role Based Security used to implement

security based on roles assigned to user
groups in the organization.

Then we can allow or deny users based

Guests.
1 <AUTHORIZATION>< authorization >
2 < allow roles="Domain_Name\Administrators"
3 < deny users="*" / >

29. What is Cross Page Posting?

When we click submit button on a web

page, the page post the data to the same

button that causes the postback.
Findcontrol method of PreviousPage can
be used to get the posted values on the
page to which the page has been posted.

from UI, and the input and events from
the user will be controlled by the
Controller.

33. Explain the working of passport

authentication.

First of all it checks passport

authentication cookie. If the cookie is not
available then the application redirects
the user to Passport Sign on page.
Passport service authenticates the user
details on sign on page and if valid then
stores the authenticated cookie on client
machine and then redirect the user to
requested page

34. What are the advantages of

typing
In strong typing, the data types of
variable are checked at compile time. On
the other hand, in case of weak typing
the variable data types are checked at
runtime. In case of strong typing, there is
no chance of compilation error. Scripts
use weak typing and hence issues arises
at runtime.

40. How we can force all the validation

controls to run?

The Page.Validate() method is used to

force all the validation controls to run
and to perform validation.

41. List all templates of the Repeater
