I am not getting this JOB for sure

I don't think knowing how does .net frame work allocate memory is going to help me writing more efficient program in C#(ya in C++ and all it's different story) because you can not control it any way. If you can i would definitely like to learn that.
Its not a matter of being able to control it or not. It's a matter of understanding how and why it works. If I've encountered a problem I want to know why it was a problem and how the method works so I can avoid the issue in the future or take other mitigation.
I know the language. I've read a book. - _Madmatt

It is true. And I knew the answer of the question (it does based on the Metadata and yes I can go in depth) but my point was do we actually need to know that how does .net framework allocate memory and if yes why do we need to know that and how it’s going to help me in write better C# program

I think you've misunderstood the point of an interview. It's not just to find out if someone can fulfill the requirements of a given job, it's also to find out about that person in general. Are you the kind of person who likes to know how things work or are you the kind of person that doesn't care, for instance. Answers to those kinds of questions can help determine whether or not an employee is the kind of person who's going to stick around and advance in the company vs. someone who's just there to do a job and could jump-ship at any time. Cheers, Drew.

i agree that this might be the case but after a point it was just Irritating for me although I did answer almost all the question they asked about .net framework but like Why CTS and CLS is need and what is the difference between two and many other questions on memory management but this question was limit for me. Any way thanks for your point of view. Highly appreciated.:thumbsup:

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:
So, in your opinion, a .NET developer is not supposed to know that ? I can accept that one does not need to know the internals in detail but they should at least have some basic knowledge of how it works. For that matter why even a C++ or a C developer need to know that. He can say that all I do is to call new or malloc and memory gets allocated for me.

I had an interview at Sony in Wales years ago which was worse. A bit into the interview the interviewer aked is I could document someone else's code (alarm bell at 3) and then told me I'd got a bit of C code to copy a string wrong and when I did the
forloop expansion it became clear he didn't write any code and why the previous worker had quit and the code was unfinished. The alarm bell was at 11 and I got my running shoes on.Join the cool kids - Come fold with us[^]

I don't think that "How does framework allocate memory" falls under basic category and to put it in nutshell you must know the metadata to understand and explain this. For example how does framework decide that it will allocate the memory on heap or stack is based on the metadata which is again based on the type you have declared while writing the program(infarct it's the compiler who generates the instruction and little tweak here will change a lot of things but again...) but when it comes to dependency properties the funda is totally different then normal. and again you need to know many things here eg. why does not framework allocate memory for different instance of class until the default value is changed or how it is doing that. But i really don't think its a falls under basic category at all. [/EDIT} Well i never said a thing about knowing it or not (in facet i know how does frame work allocate memory)only thing i was asking was the question relevant after i have answered all most all the questions on Dispose and GC and other framework related questions

yep...they do ask stupid question some time knowingly to test you and some time they just don't know what the heck they are talking about :thumbsup:

Well, for a StringBuilder it generally starts at sixteen characters and then doubles if it needs more.

I see from your other posts that you were offered the job, but you are not accepting the offer. Please don't tell me that's just because of this question.

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]

Nop...not 'coz of the question but their attitude...i didn't felt like working for those guys
Yeah, I had that feeling when I interviewed at MySpace. Everybody interviewing me had zero sense of humor. I don't think I saw a single smile while I was there.
