    Went for a job interview today after the basic question on .net Framework he asked some question on memory management. I answered the question like GC and others…Then he went on to ask “How does .net framework allocate memory” and my answer was… If I wanted to know that I would have learned C or C++ and not C# and If I remember correctly I am here for C# interview and .NET framework does the memory management for me(Well most of the time). :laugh:

            Its one thing to know how to use a library. It's another to understand what it does and why. I suspect they were looking for the latter type of person.

                      So the right answer was either simply "underwater", or "I don't really care, as long as it works right". They probably only asked the question to weed out candidates who invent stuff to fill gaps in their knowledge, and to help spot bad team players (you know: the kind who'd give a snooty answer to a question like that).

                        While I give your response a 5 and it is accurate for most .net developers (I hope) I'm reminded of the person that was hired at a place I worked at didn't know why a DVD wouldn't read in a CD drive. :sigh:

                          That's the right answer. I'll often ask the same kind of question myself, just to see if I'll get an "I'm a God, so I don't need to play nicely with others!" reply.

                            Yes, it would have. You could have said "I don't give a flying ****, so long as it ain't broken", and it would have got you the job, because it's honest, and shows, in a minor way, that you are not so likely to waste time on things that don't need time spent on them. But it's a bad idea to give someone an "I'm smarter than you!" answer, especially if you don't get their reasons for asking the question -- i.e. they probably wanted to weed out candidates who would give an "I'm smarter than you!" answer, because they're looking for a team player.

                              Yes that might be true but don't you think when the JOB Title say "C# win forms Developer" there should be at least about 10% of question based on C# language my interview lasted for more then one hour and only Question related to c# was "How C# is different from Java". Well i have just received the mail from them and they have offered me the position on senior developer and i really do not understand why...i guess life is unexpected. :) [Edit] and i have decided not to join the organization[/Edit]

                                    I think the question answers itself. The more you know and understand how it works the better decisions you will make in constructing your applications. In a web application, ViewState, Session state and Application state can all store objects and data. Why use one over the other? Without the knowledge and understanding how they function your application could have serious performance or security issues. The attitude of just let the framework handle it is fine for a junior level developer. If you want your career to progress, then learn what the framework actually does.

                                        Who is this company? I'd like to make sure I avoid them and any products you may involved with.
