			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Below are the screenshots about a user control that is using the .NET <strong>ListView </strong>control.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.toars.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/DNS-A-Record-Display.jpg" target="_blank"> <img class="size-full wp-image-516 aligncenter" title="DNS-A-Record-Display" src="http://www.toars.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/DNS-A-Record-Display.jpg" alt="" width="680" />Display Record</a></p>
<p>The <strong>ListView </strong>control contains many different events. In these examples, the <strong>EDIT </strong>button, <strong>REMOVE </strong>button, <strong>ADD </strong>button, and <strong>SAVE </strong>button click events are handled respectively.</p>
<p>Of course, there are many ways of implementations to get the job done, as far as I believed, using these <strong>ItemDataBound</strong>, <strong>ItemEditing</strong>, <strong>ItemDeleting</strong>, <strong>ItemCanceling</strong>, <strong>ItemUpdating</strong>, and <strong>ItemInserting </strong>are the easiest way.</p>
<p>Before implementing the code, design the UI first.</p>
<pre>
<div id="_mcePaste"><strong>&lt;table&gt;
&lt;thead&gt;
    &lt;tr&gt;
        &lt;th&gt;&lt;asp:Literal ID="LitHost" runat="server" /&gt;&lt;/th&gt;
        &lt;th&gt;&lt;asp:Literal ID="LitPointsTo" runat="server" /&gt;&lt;/th&gt;

        &lt;th&gt;&lt;asp:Literal ID="LitActions" runat="server" /&gt;&lt;/th&gt;
    &lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/thead&gt;

&lt;tbody&gt;
    &lt;asp:ListView ID="LstItems" runat="server"&gt;
        &lt;LayoutTemplate&gt;
            &lt;tr id="itemPlaceHolder" runat="server" /&gt;
        &lt;/LayoutTemplate&gt;
        &lt;ItemTemplate&gt;
            &lt;tr&gt;
                &lt;td&gt;&lt;asp:Literal ID="LitHost" runat="server" /&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
                &lt;td&gt;&lt;asp:Literal ID="LitPointsTo" runat="server" /&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
                &lt;td&gt;&lt;asp:Literal ID="LitTtl" runat="server" /&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
                &lt;td&gt;
                    &lt;asp:LinkButton CommandName="Edit" ID="BtnEdit" runat="server" /&gt;
                    &lt;asp:LinkButton CommandName="Delete" ID="BtnRemove" runat="server" /&gt;
                &lt;/td&gt;
            &lt;/tr&gt;
        &lt;/ItemTemplate&gt;
        &lt;EditItemTemplate&gt;
            &lt;tr&gt;
                &lt;td&gt;&lt;asp:TextBox ID="TxtHost" runat="server" /&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
                &lt;td&gt;&lt;asp:TextBox ID="TxtPointsTo" runat="server" /&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
                &lt;td&gt;&lt;asp:DropDownList ID="DdlTtl" runat="server" /&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
                &lt;td&gt;
                    &lt;asp:LinkButton CommandName="Update" ID="BtnSave" runat="server" /&gt;
                    &lt;asp:LinkButton CommandName="Cancel" ID="BtnCancel" runat="server" /&gt;
                &lt;/td&gt;
            &lt;/tr&gt;
        &lt;/EditItemTemplate&gt;
        &lt;InsertItemTemplate&gt;
            &lt;tr&gt;
                &lt;td&gt;&lt;asp:TextBox ID="TxtNewHost" runat="server" /&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
                &lt;td&gt;&lt;asp:TextBox ID="TxtNewPointsTo" runat="server" /&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
                &lt;td&gt;&lt;asp:DropDownList ID="DdlNewTtl" runat="server" /&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
                &lt;td&gt;&lt;asp:LinkButton ID="BtnAdd" CommandName="Insert" runat="server" /&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
            &lt;/tr&gt;
        &lt;/InsertItemTemplate&gt;
    &lt;/asp:ListView&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;</strong></div>
</pre>
<p>In the code-behind, we need to hook up the <strong>ItemDataBound </strong>event, and bind the data source.</p>
<pre>
<div id="_mcePaste">
<strong>LstItems.ItemDataBound += new EventHandler&lt;ListViewItemEventArgs&gt;(LstItems_ItemDataBound);

LstItems.DataSource = DnsCollection;
LstItems.DataBind();</strong></div>
</pre>
<p>It is more flexible to handle the <strong>ItemDataBound </strong>event in the code-behind than binding the data source in the UI.</p>
<pre>
<div id="_mcePaste"><strong>
protected void LstItems_ItemDataBound(object sender, ListViewItemEventArgs e)
{
    var item = e.Item;
    if (item.ItemType == ListViewItemType.DataItem)
    {
        var currentDnsRecord = (DnsRecordItem)(item as ListViewDataItem).DataItem;

        // When Displaying the items
        if (item.DataItemIndex != LstItems.EditIndex)
        {
            var litHost = item.FindControl&lt;Literal&gt;("LitHost");
            var litPointsTo = item.FindControl&lt;Literal&gt;("LitPointsTo");
            var litTtl = item.FindControl&lt;Literal&gt;("LitTtl");

            litHost.Text = currentDnsRecord.HostName;
            litPointsTo.Text = currentDnsRecord.PointsTo;
            litTtl.Text = currentDnsRecord.TimeToLive;
        }
        else
        {   // When rendering Edit item.
            var txtHost = item.FindControl&lt;TextBox&gt;("TxtHost");
            var txtPointsTo = item.FindControl&lt;TextBox&gt;("TxtPointsTo");
            var ddlTtl = item.FindControl&lt;DropDownList&gt;("DdlTTL");

            txtHost.Text = OldDnsRecord.HostName;
            txtPointsTo.Text = OldDnsRecord.PointsTo;
            BindDdlTimeToLive(ddlTtl, OldDnsRecord.TimeToLive);
        }
    }
}</strong></div>
</pre>
<p>If you are not quite sure the FindControl, please check my previous post, <a href="http://www.toars.com/2010/03/dot-net-c-sharp-findcontrol-extension-method-findcontrolsbytype-findcontrolrecursive/" target="_blank">FindControl() Extention methods</a>.</p>
<p>On the other hand, when you want to do something before <strong>ItemDataBound </strong>event, you can create this <strong>ItemCreated </strong>event handler.</p>
<pre>
<div id="_mcePaste">
<strong>LstItems.ItemCreated += new EventHandler&lt;ListViewItemEventArgs&gt;(LstItems_ItemCreated);
</strong></div>
</pre>
<p><strong>ItemCreated </strong> is happened when the ListView is created, and when the data items are bound to the control.<br />
<strong>ItemCreated </strong> is raised before the <strong>ItemDataBound </strong>event.</p>
<pre>
<div id="_mcePaste"><strong>
protected void LstItems_ItemCreated(object sender, ListViewItemEventArgs e)
{
    var item = e.Item;

    if (item.ItemType == ListViewItemType.DataItem)
    {
    }
    else if (item.ItemType == ListViewItemType.InsertItem)
    {
    }
}
</strong></div>
</pre>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<ul>
<li><strong>How big is the datatype int in .NET?</strong><br />
32 bits.</li>
<li><strong>How big is the char?</strong><br />
16 bits (Unicode).</li>
<li><strong>How do you initiate a string without escaping each backslash? </strong><br />
Put an  @ sign in front of the double-quoted string.</li>
<li><strong>What are valid signatures for the Main function? </strong>
<ul type="disc">
<li>public static void Main()</li>
<li>public static int Main()</li>
<li>public static void Main( string[] args )</li>
<li>public static int Main(string[] args )</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><strong>Does Main() always have to be public?</strong><br />
No.</li>
<li><strong>How do you initialize a two-dimensional array that you don’t know the  dimensions of?</strong>
<ul type="disc">
<li>int [, ] myArray; //declaration</li>
<li>myArray= new int [5, 8]; //actual initialization</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><strong>What’s the access level of the visibility type internal? </strong><br />
Current  assembly.</li>
<li><strong>What’s the difference between struct and class in C#?</strong>
<ul type="disc">
<li>Structs cannot be inherited.</li>
<li>Structs are passed by value, not by reference.</li>
<li>Struct is stored on the stack, not the heap.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><strong>Explain encapsulation</strong><br />
The implementation is hidden, the interface is  exposed.</li>
<li><strong>What data type should you use if you want an 8-bit value that’s  signed?</strong><br />
sbyte.</li>
<li><strong>Speaking of Boolean data types, what’s different between C# and  C/C++?</strong><br />
There’s no conversion between 0 and false, as well as any other  number and true, like in C/C++.</li>
<li><strong>Where are the value-type variables allocated in the computer RAM?</strong><br />
Stack.</li>
<li><strong>Where do the reference-type variables go in the RAM? </strong><br />
The references  go on the stack, while the objects themselves go on the heap. However, <a href="http://www.yoda.arachsys.com/csharp/memory.html">in reality things are  more elaborate</a>.</li>
<li><strong>What is the difference between the value-type variables and  reference-type variables in terms of garbage collection? </strong><br />
The value-type  variables are not garbage-collected, they just fall off the stack when they fall  out of scope, the reference-type objects are picked up by GC when their  references go null.</li>
<li><strong>How do you convert a string into an integer in .NET? </strong><br />
Int32.Parse(string), Convert.ToInt32()</li>
<li><strong>How do you box a primitive data type variable? </strong><br />
Initialize an object  with its value, pass an object, cast it to an object</li>
<li><strong>Why do you need to box a primitive variable? </strong><br />
To pass it by reference  or apply a method that an object supports, but primitive doesn’t.</li>
<li><strong>What’s the difference between Java and .NET garbage collectors? </strong><br />
Sun  left the implementation of a specific garbage collector up to the JRE developer,  so their performance varies widely, depending on whose JRE you’re using.  Microsoft standardized on their garbage collection.</li>
<li><strong>How do you enforce garbage collection in .NET? </strong><br />
System.GC.Collect();</li>
<li><strong>Can you declare a C++ type destructor in C# like ~MyClass()? </strong><br />
Yes, but  what’s the point, since it will call Finalize(), and Finalize() has no  guarantees when the memory will be cleaned up, plus, it introduces additional  load on the garbage collector. The only time the finalizer should be  implemented, is when you’re dealing with unmanaged code.</li>
<li><strong>What’s different about namespace declaration when comparing that to  package declaration in Java? </strong><br />
No semicolon. Package declarations also have to  be the first thing within the file, can’t be nested, and affect all classes  within the file.</li>
<li><strong>What’s the difference between const and readonly? </strong><br />
You can initialize  readonly variables to some runtime values. Let’s say your program uses current  date and time as one of the values that won’t change. This way you declare</p>
<blockquote><p>public readonly string DateT = new DateTime().ToString().</p></blockquote>
</li>
<li><strong>Can you create enumerated data types in C#?</strong><br />
Yes.</li>
<li><strong>What’s different about switch statements in C# as compared to C++? </strong><br />
No  fall-throughs allowed.</li>
<li><strong>What happens when you encounter a continue statement inside the for loop? </strong><br />
The code for the rest of the loop is ignored, the control is transferred  back to the beginning of the loop.</li>
<li><strong>Is goto statement supported in C#? How about Java? </strong><br />
Gotos are  supported in C#to the fullest. In Java goto is a reserved keyword that provides  absolutely no functionality.</li>
<li><strong>Describe the compilation process for .NET code?</strong><br />
Source code is  compiled and run in the .NET Framework using a two-stage process. First, source  code is compiled to Microsoft intermediate language (MSIL) code using a .NET  Framework-compatible compiler, such as that for Visual Basic .NET or Visual C#.  Second, MSIL code is compiled to native code.</li>
<li><strong>Name any 2 of the 4 .NET authentification methods</strong><br />
ASP.NET, in  conjunction with Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS), can authenticate  user credentials such as names and passwords using any of the following  authentication methods:</p>
<ul>
<li>Windows: Basic, digest, or Integrated Windows Authentication (NTLM or  Kerberos).</li>
<li>Microsoft Passport authentication</li>
<li>Forms authentication</li>
<li>Client Certificate authentication</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><strong>How do you turn off SessionState in the web.config file?</strong><br />
In the  system.web section of web.config, you should locate the httpmodule tag and you  simply disable session by doing a remove tag with attribute name set to  session.</p>
<blockquote><p>&lt;httpModules&gt;<br />
&lt;remove name=”Session”  /&gt;<br />
&lt;/httpModules&gt;</p></blockquote>
</li>
<li><strong>What is main difference between Global.asax and Web.Config? </strong><br />
ASP.NET  uses the global.asax to establish any global objects that your Web application  uses. The .asax extension denotes an application file rather than .aspx for a  page file. Each ASP.NET application can contain at most one global.asax file.  The file is compiled on the first page hit to your Web application. ASP.NET is  also configured so that any attempts to browse to the global.asax page directly  are rejected. However, you can specify application-wide settings in the  web.config file. The web.config is an XML-formatted text file that resides in  the Web site’s root directory. Through Web.config you can specify settings like  custom 404 error pages, authentication and authorization settings for the Web  site, compilation options for the ASP.NET Web pages, if tracing should be  enabled, etc.</li>
</ul>

<li><strong>What’s the implicit name of the parameter that gets passed into the  class’ set method?</strong><br />
Value, and it’s datatype depends on whatever variable  we’re changing.</li>
<li><strong>How do you inherit from a class in C#? </strong><br />
Place a colon and then the  name of the base class.</li>
<li><strong>Does C# support multiple inheritance? </strong><br />
No, use interfaces  instead.</li>
<li><strong>When you inherit a protected class-level variable, who is it available  to? </strong><br />
Classes in the same namespace.</li>
<li><strong>Are private class-level variables inherited? </strong><br />
Yes, but they are not  accessible, so looking at it you can honestly say that they are not inherited.  But they are.</li>
<li><strong>Describe the accessibility modifier protected internal. </strong><br />
It’s  available to derived classes and classes within the same Assembly (and naturally  from the base class it’s declared in).</li>
<li><strong>C# provides a default constructor for me. I write a constructor that  takes a string as a parameter, but want to keep the no parameter one. How many  constructors should I write? </strong><br />
Two. Once you write at least one constructor,  C# cancels the freebie constructor, and now you have to write one yourself, even  if there’s no implementation in it.</li>
<li><strong>What’s the top .NET class that everything is derived from? </strong><br />
System.Object.</li>
<li><strong>How’s method overriding different from overloading? </strong><br />
When overriding,  you change the method behavior for a derived class. Overloading simply involves  having a method with the same name within the class.</li>
<li><strong>What does the keyword virtual mean in the method definition? </strong><br />
The  method can be over-ridden.</li>
<li><strong>Can you declare the override method static while the original method is  non-static? </strong><br />
No, you can’t, the signature of the virtual method must remain  the same, only the keyword virtual is changed to keyword override.</li>
<li><strong>Can you override private virtual methods? </strong><br />
No, moreover, you cannot  access private methods in inherited classes, have to be protected in the base  class to allow any sort of access.</li>
<li><strong>Can you prevent your class from being inherited and becoming a base class  for some other classes?</strong><br />
 Yes, that’s what keyword sealed in the class  definition is for. The developer trying to derive from your class will get a  message: cannot inherit from Sealed class WhateverBaseClassName. It’s the same  concept as final class in Java.</li>
<li><strong>Can you allow class to be inherited, but prevent the method from being  over-ridden? </strong><br />
Yes, just leave the class public and make the method  sealed.</li>
<li><strong>What’s an abstract class? </strong><br />
A class that cannot be instantiated. A  concept in C++ known as pure virtual method. A class that must be inherited and  have the methods over-ridden. Essentially, it’s a blueprint for a class without  any implementation.</li>
<li><strong>When do you absolutely have to declare a class as abstract (as opposed to  free-willed educated choice or decision based on UML diagram)? </strong><br />
When at least  one of the methods in the class is abstract. When the class itself is inherited  from an abstract class, but not all base abstract methods have been  over-ridden.</li>
<li><strong>What’s an interface class? </strong>It’s an abstract class with public abstract methods all of which must be implemented in the inherited classes.</li>
<li><strong>Why can’t you specify the accessibility modifier for methods inside the  interface? </strong><br />
They all must be public. Therefore, to prevent you from getting  the false impression that you have any freedom of choice, you are not allowed to  specify any accessibility, it’s public by default.</li>
<li><strong>Can you inherit multiple interfaces? </strong><br />
Yes, why not.</li>
<li><strong>And if they have conflicting method names? </strong><br />
It’s up to you to  implement the method inside your own class, so implementation is left entirely  up to you. This might cause a problem on a higher-level scale if similarly named  methods from different interfaces expect different data, but as far as compiler cares you’re okay.</li>
<li><strong>What’s the difference between an interface and abstract class? </strong><br />
In the  interface all methods must be abstract, in the abstract class some methods can  be concrete. In the interface no accessibility modifiers are allowed, which is  ok in abstract classes.</li>
<li><strong>How can you overload a method? </strong><br />
Different parameter data types,  different number of parameters, different order of parameters.</li>
<li><strong>If a base class has a bunch of overloaded constructors, and an inherited  class has another bunch of overloaded constructors, can you enforce a call from  an inherited constructor to an arbitrary base constructor? </strong><br />
Yes, just place a  colon, and then keyword base (parameter list to invoke the appropriate  constructor) in the overloaded constructor definition inside the inherited  class.</li>
<li><strong>What’s the difference between System.String and System.StringBuilder  classes? </strong><br />
System.String is immutable, System.StringBuilder was designed with  the purpose of having a mutable string where a variety of operations can be  performed.</li>
<li><strong>Is it namespace class or class namespace?</strong><br />
 The .NET class library is  organized into namespaces. Each namespace contains a functionally related group  of classes so natural namespace comes first.</li>
</ul>
