Freshers / Beginner level questions & answers

Ques 1. What’s the advantage of using System.Text.StringBuilder over System.String?

StringBuilder is more efficient in the cases, where a lot of manipulation is done to the text. Strings are immutable, so each time it’s being operated on, a new instance is created.

Ques 2. Can you store multiple data types in System.Array?

You never use System. Array directly. You can store items whose data type is equivalent to, or derived from, the data type of the array. This means that you can store multiple data types, provided that they derive from a common base type, or implement a common interface.

Example:
If you want to store different types, use System.Collections.ArrayList or object[]

Ques 8. What’s the C# equivalent of C++ catch (…), which was a catch-all statement for any possible exception?

Ques 9. Can multiple catch blocks be executed?

No, once the proper catch code fires off, the control is transferred to the finally block (if there are any), and then whatever follows the finally block.

Ques 10. Why is it a bad idea to throw your own exceptions?

Well, if at that point you know that an error has occurred, then why not write the proper code to handle that error instead of passing a new Exception object to the catch block? Throwing your own exceptions signifies some design flaws in the project.

SQLServer.NET data provider is high-speed and robust, but requires SQL Server license purchased from Microsoft. OLE-DB.NET is universal for accessing other sources, like Oracle, DB2, Microsoft Access and Informix, but it’s a .NET layer on top of OLE layer, so not the fastest thing in the world. ODBC.NET is a deprecated layer provided for backward compatibility to ODBC engines.

Is it helpful? Add Comment View Comments
