Advantage of Generic:-
1. Generics provide type safety without the overhead of multiple implementations.
Ex. We can create a linked list of string.
LinkedList<string>linkList=new LinkedList<string>();
There is no need to inherit from a base type and override members.The linked list is ready
for immediate use.
2. There is no need to write code to test for the correct data type because it is enforced
at compile time. The need for type casting and the possibility of run-time errors are
reduced.
3. Generic collection types generally perform better for storing and manipulating value
types because there is no need to box the value types.
4. Generic delegates enable type-safe callbacks without the need to create multiple delegate
classes.
5.Generic delegates can also be used in dynamically generated code without requiring the
generation of a delegate type. This increases the number of scenarios in which you can use
lightweight dynamic methods instead of generating entire assemblies.
Advantage of Delegate:
Delegates are managed function pointers. they are type checked and held in spaces that can
be reclaimed by the memory manager.chintan.desai

Adding on sutanu_halder answer: 1. Delegate executes asynchronousely, while Generice execute synchronousely. 2. Delegate is not type safe. We can define anonymous method which can execute without creating delegate object in memory. Generic is type-safe.

The 'this' keyword in C# is used to reference the current class instance.
It can be optionally used as a qualifier in referencing the fields, properties or methods of the current instance of the class.chintan.desai

Public Members
Why do we use properties rather than public members?

Editorial / Best Answer
netdev- Member Since Oct-2009 | Oct 10th, 2009
To the user of an object, property and public member may not make much difference with respect to syntax. However, property provides the ability to combine both field and method via the get and set accessors.
MS Help for C# presents the best answer for using properties:Properties have many uses: they can validate data before allowing a change; they can transparently expose data on a class where that data is actually retrieved from some other source, such as a database; they can take an action when data is changed, such as raising an event, or changing the value of other fields.

With Properties, we can implement validation.For example, if we have customer age and we want to add validation on the age, we can do it with properties.Another benefits of properties is that we can protect a field in a class by reading and writing it through the properties.

Private data fields of class should not be exposed by making them public. Instead they can made visible using public properties in more controlled manner. Also we can make properties read only or read/write.

AutoPostBack Property
There is Cancel button and OK button on page. When we click Cancel button it skips all validation controls and goes to next page.(a)Page AutoPostback of Cancel is True.(b)Page AutoPostback of Cancel is False.(c)Page AutoPostback of OK is True.(d)Page AutoPostback of OK is False.Which option is correct?

A button control does not have AutoPostBack property it has click event. so once you click on cancel and if its CausesValidation Property is false it will skips all validations, and if it is true it will validate the controls on the page.
AutoPostBack property is for say DropDown,textbox etc... whnever you change/enter value/keyed some caharcter in textbox or change your selection in drop down postback will happen if that control's is AutoPostBack property is true, depending on that postback you can fill values or set some values for other controls or you can do some validation against enterd or selcted values.
e.g. say tehre are 2 drop down. DropDown1 and DropDown2
DropDown2 is currently holding states of US country as in DropDown1 you have selcted US. Now you want to fill DropDown2 with state value of India.
Now if
DropDown1.AutopostBack = True;
and you change DropDown1's value from Us to India.
Page will post back to server and you can fill DropDown2 with Indian States.
Thanks,

By default when we press the button, validation automatically occurs.With using causevalidation=false we can prevent validation.

What is the difference between const and static read-only?
The difference is that static read-only can be modified by the containing class, but const can never be modified and must be initialized to a compile time constant. To expand on the static read-only case a bit, the containing class can only modify it:-- in the variable declaration (through a variable initializer).-- in the static constructor (instance constructors if it's not static).

A const must be initialized at the time of its creation. A readonly field can be assigned to once in the class constructor allowing you to pass in the value at run-time. Declaring fields as const protects both you and other programmers from accidentally changing the value of the field. Also note that with const fields, the compiler performs some optimization by not declaring any stack space for the field. The readonly keyword is similar to const, with two exceptions. First, the storage of a readonly field is the same as a regular read-write field, and thus there is no performance benefit. Secondly, readonly fields can be initialized in the constructor of the containing class.

As static read-only variables must be initialized in the static constructor (static constructor cannot have parameters and it cannot be called manually), it is efficient to used const variables over static read-only variables if you know the values at creation of these variables.

ByteArray Class
Write a class called ByteArray that implement allocating, reading and writing to an array of bytes. The runtime environment has a limitation. The maximum continuous memory size that it can allocated is 64k bytes. It can allocate many 64K ( or less) chunks. The ByteArray class should hide this limitation and support allocating arrays larger than 64K as in the following example :ByteArray ba = new ByteArray...

Application domains are typically created by runtime host( i.e. Windows process/program). Application domains provide an isolation boundary for security,.... .NET program is an Assembly loading into an Application domain. Threads are the operating system construct used by the common language runtime to execute code in Application domains. Therefore, for .NET, Process (runtime host) -> Application Domains -> Assemblies (.NET programs)-> Managed Threads.

All collections directly or indirectly should implement the ICollection interface or the ICollection(Of T) generic interface. If you check System.Array you will see ICollection interface in there. Correct answer is C, it doesn't matter that there are methods that can provide arrays of Names and Values. Because if you are reasoning like this, it means bject.ToString().ToCharArray() cause all classes are being collections.

A static class can make your implementation simpler and faster because you do not have to create an object in order to invoke its methods. It is useful to organize the methods inside the class in a meaningful way, such as the methods of the Math class in the System namespace.

In a typical multiple-tier implementation, the steps for creating and refreshing a DataSet, and in turn, updating the original data are to: 1. Build and fill each DataTable in a DataSet with data from a data source using a DataAdapter. 2. Change the data in individual DataTable objects by adding, updating, or deleting DataRow objects. 3. Invoke the GetChanges method to create a second DataSet that features only the changes to the data. 4. Call the Update method of the DataAdapter, passing the second DataSet as an argument. 5. Invoke the Merge method to merge the changes from the second DataSet into the first. 6. Invoke the AcceptChanges on the DataSet. Alternatively, invoke RejectChanges to cancel the changes.
