Chapter 1: Data Access Fundamentals

1. Question: What is ADO.NET?
   Answer: ADO.NET is a set of classes in the .NET Framework that provides a consistent way to access data from a variety of data sources, such as SQL Server, Oracle, and XML files.
2. Question: What are the benefits of using ADO.NET?
   Answer: ADO.NET offers several benefits, including:
   • Data independence: Allows applications to access data from different sources without having to change the code.
   • Improved performance: Provides efficient data access and caching mechanisms.
   • Strongly typed data: Enforces data types, reducing errors and improving code maintainability.
3. Question: Explain the architecture of ADO.NET.
   Answer: ADO.NET architecture consists of several key components:
   • Data providers: Responsible for connecting to specific data sources.
   • Connection objects: Represent connections to data sources.
   • Command objects: Execute commands against data sources.
   • Data reader objects: Extract data from data sources.

Chapter 2: Database Connectivity

4. Question: How do you establish a connection to a database using ADO.NET?
   Answer: To establish a connection, use the SqlConnection class and provide the connection string specifying the database server, database name, and user credentials.
5. Question: What are the different connection states in ADO.NET?
   Answer: The connection states are:
   • Closed: Connection is not established.
   • Open: Connection is established and ready to use.
   • Broken: Connection is broken and needs to be re-established.
   • Connecting: Connection is being established.
6. Question: How do you handle database transactions in ADO.NET?
   Answer: Use the Transaction class to manage transactions, allowing you to group multiple operations as a single unit of work that can be committed or rolled back.

Chapter 3: Data Retrieval and Manipulation

7. Question: Explain how to retrieve data using ADO.NET.
   Answer: To retrieve data, create a SqlCommand object with the SQL query, execute it, and iterate through the resulting SqlDataReader object.
8. Question: How do you perform data updates, inserts, and deletes in ADO.NET?
   Answer: Use the SqlCommand class with the appropriate SQL statements (e.g., UPDATE, INSERT, DELETE) to perform these operations.
9. Question: What are stored procedures and how do you use them in ADO.NET?
   Answer: Stored procedures are pre-compiled SQL statements stored on the database server. To execute them, use the SqlCommand class with the stored procedure name and provide input parameters if necessary.

Chapter 4: ADO.NET Data Services

10. Question: What are ADO.NET Data Services?
    Answer: ADO.NET Data Services is a technology that allows you to expose data from various sources as RESTful web services.
11. Question: How do you create an ADO.NET Data Service?
    Answer: Create a new ASP.NET Web API project and use the ODataController base class to define your data service controllers.
12. Question: What are the benefits of using ADO.NET Data Services?
    Answer: ADO.NET Data Services provides:
    • Easy data exposure: Exposes data as RESTful APIs with minimal coding.
    • Standard-based: Follows the OData specification, simplifying data access across platforms.
    • Extensibility: Allows you to customize the behavior and functionality of your data services.

Chapter 5: Advanced ADO.NET Concepts

13. Question: Explain Entity Framework and its role in ADO.NET.
    Answer: Entity Framework (EF) is an object-relational mapper (ORM) that simplifies data access by representing data as objects. EF automatically maps database tables to classes, reducing the need for manual data manipulation.
14. Question: What is LINQ and how does it work with ADO.NET?
    Answer: LINQ (Language Integrated Query) is a query language that allows you to write queries in C# syntax. By using LINQ to Entities, you can query data in your EF data model.
15. Question: How do you handle asynchronous data operations in ADO.NET?
    Answer: Use the async and await keywords to perform asynchronous data operations without blocking the UI thread.

By thoroughly understanding the concepts covered in this guide, you will be well-prepared to tackle any ADO.NET interview question with confidence. Remember to practice implementing the techniques discussed, and you will be well on your way to success.
