1.How to update the data in dataset

A.The dataset can be considered as an in-memory cache of the data retrieved from the database.So the dataset consites of the tables, relationship and constraints.

To insert, update or delete the data in the database we use the sqlcommand

2.Why we need both server controls and html controls in asp.net. what is the difference between them?

A.HTML Server Controls:

This controls will follow similar syntax of html client side controls with the same set of properties (with runat="server" attribute). The purpose of this HTML Server controls is towards migration projects. And this HTML Server Controls doesn't support extensibility.

Web Server Controls:

These are very advanced controls if compared to HTML Controls. These controls overcome the extensibility problem which araises in HTML Server Controls. These controls are also called as Smart Controls, because these controls will produce HTML context based on reuested browser.

These Controls also supports data binding and xml based syntax with .net object model.

3.Whats the diffrence between Custom Control and a User Control?

A.If none of the existing ASP.NET server controls meet the specific requirements of your applications, you can create either a Web user control or a Web custom control that encapsulates the functionality you need. The main difference between the two controls lies in ease of creation vs. ease of use at design time.

Web user controls are easy to make, but they can be less convenient to use in advanced scenarios. You develop Web user controls almost exactly the same way that you develop Web Forms pages. Like Web Forms, user controls can be created in the visual designer, they can be written with code separated from the HTML, and they can handle execution events. However, because Web user controls are compiled dynamically at run time they cannot be added to the Toolbox, and they are represented by a simple placeholder glyph when added to a page. This makes Web user controls harder to use if you are accustomed to full Visual Studio .NET design-time support, including the Properties window and Design view previews. Also, the only way to share the user control between applications is to put a separate copy in each application, which takes more maintenance if you make changes to the control.

Web custom controls are compiled code, which makes them easier to use but more difficult to create; Web custom controls must be authored in code. Once you have created the control, however, you can add it to the Toolbox and display it in a visual designer with full Properties window support and all the other design-time features of ASP.NET server controls. In addition, you can install a single copy of the Web custom control in the global assembly cache and share it between applications, which makes maintenance easier

4.How to show graphs in ASP .net ?graphs will be based on the databse?

A.We can use

System.Drawing;

System.Drawing.Drawing2D;
name spaces for drawing graphs based on data from databases in web pages

6.What is .net frame work?

A.Net framework is an environment provided on top of the OS which looks into

Memory management
Thread management
and provides

Language independence
Platform independence
It is defined by Microsoft as 'an environment for building, deploying and running web services and other applications. It consists of three main parts -- CLR, framework classes and ASP.Net'

.Net facilitates integration of code written for desktop applications with code written for web applications. It also facilitates creation of assemblies from code files written in different .net languages. It provides a common type system (CTS) for bringing data types of all languages on a common platform.

7.What is the maximum number of cookies that can be allowed to a web site?

A.20
Maximum number of cookies allowed is 300.

8.Explain Assemblies?,Difference between Panel and GroupBox?,Differences between ASP and ASP.NET?

A.ASSEMBLIES

Assemblies are the building blocks of .NET Framework applications; they form the fundamental unit of deployment, version control, reuse, activation scoping, and security permissions. An assembly is a collection of types and resources that are built to work together and form a logical unit of functionality. An assembly provides the common language runtime with the information it needs to be aware of type implementations. To the runtime, a type does not exist outside the context of an assembly.
I found that there are numerous posts for Assemblies but none for giving out the difference between Panel and a Group Box. Although a Panel as well as the groupbox are almost the same there are minute differences.

In group box you can enter text while you cant do that in Panel.

In Panel you have got a built in support for scrollbars which is not available in case of group box.

Hope this information is useful....Happy Programming !!!

There is lots of difference between ASP and ASP.NET

Asp Vs ASP.Net some are :

ASP is Procedure oreinted Language where as ASP.Net Supports OOPS.

UI and Code behind is very well defined and Isolated.

UI can supports multiples of Code Behind languages (VB, C# etc.,)

Late binding is present in the ASP.Net

9.Difference beetween datagrid and datareader?

10.What is the difference between excute query and excute nonquery.?

A.Execute Query is the method which is used to return the result of the command like select Query. That is Update Query. The Execute Non Query

is used to return the Query os the statement like the update Delete Insert which returns No data

11.Can we use http handlers to upload a file in asp.net?

A.Answer is yes. We can use http handlers to upload a file in asp.net.

To perform file upload in ASP.NET, you need to know two classes: the System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlInputFile class and the System.Web.HttpPostedFile. The first class represents an HTML control that the user uses to select a file on the client side and upload it. The latter represents the uploaded file itself, and an instance of this class is obtained from the HtmlInputFile control. The next two subsections discuss each class in detail.

<% @ Import Namespace="System.IO" %>
