Compilation and Execution of .Net application

Describe how a .Net application is compiled and executed?


From the source code, the compiler generates Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL) which is further used for the creation of an EXE or DLL. The CLR processes these at runtime. Thus, compiling is the process of generating this MSIL. The way you do it in .Net is as follows:
Right-click and select Build / Ctrl-Shift-B / Build menu, Build command
F5 - compile and run the application. 
Ctrl+F5 - compile and run the application without debugging.


Compilation can be done with Debug or Release configuration. The difference between these two is that in the debug configuration, only an assembly is generated without optimization. However, in release complete optimization is performed without debug symbols.

Event and Delegate

What is an Event?


When an action is performed, this action is noticed by the computer application based on which the output is displayed. These actions are called events. Examples of events are pressing of the keys on the keyboard, clicking of the mouse. Likewise, there are a number of events which capture your actions.


Delegate :


Delegates are kind of similar to the function pointers. But they are secure and type-safe. A delegate instance encapsulates a static or an instance method. Declaring a delegate defines a reference type which can be used to encapsulate a method having a specific signature.

Language Integrated Query ( LINQ )

What is Language Integrated Query (LINQ)? 


LINQ is a set of extensions to .NET Framework that encapsulate language integrated query, set and other transformation operations. It extends VB, C# with their language syntax for queries. It also provides class libraries which allow a developer to take advantages of these features.

.NET Mobile overview

.NET Mobile overview


.NET Mobile is a platform for developing applications for mobile phones. It’s an extension to .NET Framework and is called Microsoft Mobile Internet Toolkit. It is a set of server side forms controls. These controls produce different output formats i.e. WML, HTML or even compact HTML. This allows developers to create an application using a single paradigm instead of developing an application multiple times using different paradigms based on what different mobiles support. The advantage is standardization, less redundancy, and Microsoft support.

Handle Exceptions in .NET 2.0

Explain how to Handle Exceptions in .NET 2.0.


There are different methods for handling the exceptions. For example


Method 1 :


try
{
     // code here
}
catch(Exceptiontype *etype_object)
{
     // code here.
}


Method 2 :
try
{
       // code
}
catch(Exceptiontype *etype_object)
{
        throw new Custom_Exception();
}
