Feed Description: Scott Hanselman's ComputerZen.com is a .NET/WebServices/XML Weblog. I offer details of obscurities (internals of ASP.NET, WebServices, XML, etc) and best practices from real world scenarios.
I do a LOT of interviewing here, and for a while we were hiring ASP.NET people.
Here's some of the questions that I asked them. I came up with these questions
because you'd "just know" this stuff if you spent time working on a REAL WORLD ASP.NET
site - through design, development, debugging, production debugging, and deployment.
Do they suck? Did I miss any? How do you think people did?
From constructor to destructor (taking into consideration Dispose() and the concept
of non-deterministic finalization), what the are events fired as part of the ASP.NET
System.Web.UI.Page lifecycle. Why are they important? What interesting things can
you do at each?
What are ASHX files? What are HttpHandlers? Where can they be configured?
What is needed to configure a new extension for use in ASP.NET? For example, what
if I wanted my system to serve ASPX files with a *.jsp extension?
What events fire when binding data to a data grid? What are they good for?
Explain how PostBacks work, on both the client-side and server-side. How do I chain
my own JavaScript into the client side without losing PostBack functionality?
How does ViewState work and why is it either useful or evil?
What is the OO relationship between an ASPX page and its CS/VB code behind file in
ASP.NET 1.1? in 2.0?
What happens from the point an HTTP request is received on a TCP/IP port up until
the Page fires the On_Load event?
How does IIS communicate at runtime with ASP.NET? Where is ASP.NET at runtime
in IIS5? IIS6?
What is an assembly binding redirect? Where are the places an administrator or developer
can affect how assembly binding policy is applied?
Compare and contrast LoadLibrary(), CoCreateInstance(), CreateObject() and Assembly.Load().
