What does AllowUnsafeUpdates do?
If your code modifies Windows SharePoint Services data in some way, you may need to allow unsafe updates on the Web site, without requiring a security validation. You can do by setting the AllowUnsafeUpdates property. C#:
view sourceprint?
using(SPSite mySite = new SPSite("yourserver"))
{ using(SPWeb myWeb = mySite.OpenWeb())
{
myWeb.AllowUnsafeUpdates = true;
SPList interviewList = myWeb.Lists["listtoinsert"];
SPListItem newItem = interviewList.Items.Add();
newItem["interview"] = "interview";
newItem.Update();
}
}
What does RunWithElevatedPrivileges do?
Assume that you have a Web Part in which you want to display information obtained through the Windows SharePoint Services object model, such as the name of the current site collection owner, usage statistics, or auditing information. These are examples of calls into the object model that require site-administration privileges. Your Web Part experiences an access-denied error if it attempts to obtain this information when the current user is not a site administrator. The request is initiated by a nonprivileged user. you can still successfully make these calls into the object model by calling the RunWithElevatedPrivileges method provided by the SPSecurity class. C#:
view sourceprint?
SPSite siteColl = SPContext.Current.Site;
SPWeb site = SPContext.Current.Web;
SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges(delegate()
{
using (SPSite ElevatedsiteColl = new SPSite(siteColl.ID))
{
using (SPWeb ElevatedSite = ElevatedsiteColl.OpenWeb(site.ID))
{
string SiteCollectionOwner = ElevatedsiteColl.Owner.Name;
string Visits = ElevatedsiteColl.Usage.Visits.ToString();
string RootAuditEntries = ElevatedSite.RootFolder.Audit.GetEntries().Count.ToString();
}
}
});
- What is a SharePoint Feature? What files are used to define a feature?
A SharePoint Feature is a functional component that can be activated and deactivate at various scopes throughout a SharePoint instances.
Scopes include
• Farm
• WebApplication
• Site (site collection)
• Web (site)
Features have their own receiver architecture, which allow you to trap events such as when a feature is
• installing
• uninstalling
• activated
• deactivated
The element types that can be defined by a feature include
• menu commands
• link commands
• page templates
• page instances
• list definitions
• list instances
• event handlers
• workflows
The two files that are used to define a feature are
• feature.xml
• manifest file(elements.xml)
The feature XML file defines the actual feature and will make SharePoint aware of the installed feature. The manifest file contains details about the feature such as functionality.
Common stsadm commands associated with feature are
• stsadm -o installfeature
• stsadm -o uninstallfeature
• stsadm -o activatefeature
• stsadm -o deactivatefeature
- What are content types ?
A content type is a flexible and reusable WSS type definition that defines the columns and behavior for an item in a list or a document in a document library.
For example,
-you can create a content type for a customer presentation document with a unique set of columns, an event handler, and its own document template.
-You can create a second content type for a customer proposal document with a different set of columns, a workflow, and a different document template.
Then you can attach both the contenttypes to a document library, which allows you to capture metadata based on the contenttype selected during creation of the document.
Content type can be created by the following
• from the rootweb of a site collection, go to Site Action > Site Settings > Galleries > Site content types
• using a feature
Workflow can be applied to what all elements of SharePoint ?
While workflow associations are often created directly on lists and document libraries, a workflow association can also be created on a content type that exists within the Content Type Gallery for the current site or content types defined within a list.
In short, it can be applied ...
• At the level of a list (or document library)
• At the level of a content type defined at site scope
• At the level of a site ( Sharepoint 2010 )
- What are the ways to initiate the workflow ?
• Automatic (on item added or item deleted)
• Manual (standard WSS UI interface)
• Manual (Custom UI Interface)
• Programatically through custom code
7. What are the types of input forms that can be created for a workflow ?
You can create four different types of input forms including an association form, an initiation form, a modification form, and a task edit form. Note that these forms are optional when you create a workflow template.
8. What are ways to create input forms for workflow ?
Two different approaches can be used to develop custom input forms for a WSS workflow template.
• You can create your forms by using custom application pages, which are standard .aspx pages deployed to run out of the _layouts directory. ( disadv: lot of code required when compared to Infopath approach)
• using Microsoft Office InfoPath 2007 (disadv: picks up a dependenct on MOSS, i.e. it cannot run in a standalone WSS environment)
9. What is the difference between method activity and event activity in WF ?
A method activity is one that performs an action, such as creating or updating a task. An event activity is one that runs in response to an action occurring.
10. What does SPWeb.EnsureUser method do?
Checks whether the specified login name belongs to a valid user of the Web site, and if the login name does not already exist, adds it to the Web site. e.g SPUser usr = myWeb.EnsureUser("mmangaldas");
11. While creating a Webpart, which is the ideal location to Initialize my new controls ?
Override the CreateChildControls method to include your new controls. To make sure that the new controls are initialized.. call 'EnsureChildControls' in the webparts Render method. You can control the exact Rendering of your controls by calling the .Render method in the webparts Render method.
12. How to query from multiple lists ?
Use SPSiteDataQuery to fetch data from multiple lists. more details..
13.How Does SharePoint work?
The browser sends a DAV packet to IIS asking to perform a document check in. PKMDASL.DLL, an ISAPI DLL, parses the packet and sees that it has the proprietary INVOKE command. Because of the existence of this command, the packet is passed off to msdmserv.exe, who in turn processes the packet and uses EXOLEDB to access the WSS, perform the operation and send the results back to the user in the form of XML.
14. What is the difference between Syncronous & Asyncronous events?
Syncronous calls ending with 'ing' E.g. ItemDeleting Event Handler code execute BEFORE action is committed WSS waits for code to return Option to cancel and return error code
Asyncronous calls ending with 'ed' E.g. ItemDeleted Event Handler code executes AFTER action is committed WSS does not wait for code to return Executed in its own Worker thread.
15. What is ServerUpdate() ?
Any changes in the list, i.e. new addition or modification of an item.. the operation is complete by calling the Update method.But if a List is set to maintain versions .. and you are editing an item, but don't want to save it as a new version, then use the SystemUpdate method instead and pass in 'false' as the parameter.
16. What is query.ViewAttributes OR how can you force SPQuery to return results from all the folders of the list?
If you use SPQuery on any SPlist .. it will bring back results from the current folder only. If you want to get results from all the folders in the list.. then you need to specify the scope of the query by the use of ViewAttributes..
e.g. query.ViewAttributes = "Scope=\"Recursive\"";
Business Impact with existing applications:
Slow responsiveness to business and user needs
Costly custom development and maintenance
Poor sharing inside and outside the organization
Difficult to find the right content, data, and people
Increasing information management risk
Solution for above problems…. MOSS 2007
A unified, enterprise-ready solution that boosts organizational
Effectiveness by:
• making information and knowledge sharing intuitive and easy
• controlling and reusing content while reducing information management risk
Enabling faster and more insightful decision making
Is there any way to send Email in sharepoint?
Ans) Using SPUtility we can send Emails, but we can’t set priority of the email.
We can send a email using Sysntem.Net.Mail.
SPUtility.SendEmail(site, false, false, "e-mail_address", "Web Discussion Report", Msg);

Q. What are the data types which are supported as Lookup column in SharePoint.?
Ans). Only Single Line of Text and Calculated columns are supported as lookup columns.
Q: Name at least two shared services available in MOSS 2007
A: Shared Services Providers in MOSS 2007 can provide the following shared services:
• User Profiles
• Audiences
• Personal Sites
• Search
• Excel Services
• Forms Services
• Business Data Catalog (Requires Enterprise Edition)
Q: (i) Describe the purpose of a content type and; (ii) give an example of where they might be used.
A: (i) A content type groups a set of list columns together so that they can be reused in the same way across sites. (ii) They could be used as a set of metadata columns that need to be applied to every document in a site collection
Q: What is the performance impact of RunWithElevatedPrivileges?
A: RunWithElevatedPrivileges creates a new thread with the App Pool's credentials, blocking your current thread until it finishes
Q: Describe the difference between a list and a library.
A: Lists are collections of metadata or columns, which can have attached documents.
Libraries are collections of documents (Excel, InfoPath, Word, etc.) plus optional metadata.
Q: Why would you use a custom column?
A: It allows you to re-use the column in multiple libraries. Particularly useful if you use a Choice type to restrict the user input to a predefined set of answers, and when that list of answers will likely change.
Q. When modifying a list item, what is the "main" difference between using SPListItem.Update() and SPListItem.SystemUpdate()?
A. Using SystemUpdate() will not create a new version and will also retain timestamps.
Sharepoint document library source page on the server?
Ans)1
When you create a document library template files from the "12 hive" are ghosted into the SharePoint content database (SQL). The only proper way to edit those pages at that point is to use Microsoft SharePoint Designer.
Open SharePoint Designer and open the SharePoint web site in question and you will see your document library listed in the file explorer. Under your document library you will see a Forms folder, that Forms folder is what contains the source files that are rendered to the browser
Ans)2
SharePoint does not store the pages directly in the filesystem. The mechanism is a little less straightforward.
To understand this mechanism, You have to understand the concepts of Ghosting/Unghosting, and the ASP.NET Virtual Path Provider. The SharePoint stores the pages in the Database as BLOBS, and serves them up using the ASP.NET Virtual path provider.
The ASP.NET Virtual Path Provider provides an abstraction between ASP.NET and FileSystem. Instead of getting a System.IO.FileStream object directly from the filesystem, the provider uses MapPathBasedVirtualPathProvider and the MapPathBasedVirtualFile classes to get the FileStream object.
This abstraction allows ASP.NET to serve up pages from anywhere, without having to store the pages in an actual file system. This concept is used to implement Ghosting/Unghosting which basically means having a single copy of the page, and serving them up as different pages.
SharePoint leverages this new feature in ASP.NET 2.0, along with the improved BLOB storage functionality in SQL Server 2005 to serve up pages
If your code modifies Windows SharePoint Services data in some way, you may need to allow unsafe updates on the Web site, without requiring a security validation. You can do by setting the AllowUnsafeUpdates property. C#:
view sourceprint?
using(SPSite mySite = new SPSite("yourserver"))
{ using(SPWeb myWeb = mySite.OpenWeb())
{
myWeb.AllowUnsafeUpdates = true;
SPList interviewList = myWeb.Lists["listtoinsert"];
SPListItem newItem = interviewList.Items.Add();
newItem["interview"] = "interview";
newItem.Update();
}
}
What does RunWithElevatedPrivileges do?
Assume that you have a Web Part in which you want to display information obtained through the Windows SharePoint Services object model, such as the name of the current site collection owner, usage statistics, or auditing information. These are examples of calls into the object model that require site-administration privileges. Your Web Part experiences an access-denied error if it attempts to obtain this information when the current user is not a site administrator. The request is initiated by a nonprivileged user. you can still successfully make these calls into the object model by calling the RunWithElevatedPrivileges method provided by the SPSecurity class. C#:
view sourceprint?
SPSite siteColl = SPContext.Current.Site;
SPWeb site = SPContext.Current.Web;
SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges(delegate()
{
using (SPSite ElevatedsiteColl = new SPSite(siteColl.ID))
{
using (SPWeb ElevatedSite = ElevatedsiteColl.OpenWeb(site.ID))
{
string SiteCollectionOwner = ElevatedsiteColl.Owner.Name;
string Visits = ElevatedsiteColl.Usage.Visits.ToString();
string RootAuditEntries = ElevatedSite.RootFolder.Audit.GetEntries().Count.ToString();
}
}
});

Interview Guidelines
Make sure you remember one word during interview and that is Professionalism
Interviews are like anything else in life, they take practice to perfect. The job market is highly competitive so you should always maintain a high standard of professionalism. This is most certain going to impress your potential employer, as it will show focus and maturity.
Professionalism is: Presentation, Punctuality and Preparation.
Presentation:
Your physical presentation will mark your first impression. Wear a business suit for your interview. Interviewers start evaluating candidates the moment they enter the room. Hence, make it a point to dress smartly and impress the panelist.·
Always wear a smile on your face. It will positively contribute to your pleasing personality.·
Maintain eye contact with the interviewer. This adds a dash of confidence to your replies.·
Keep a track of your nervous gestures. Looking at your watch continuously or fidgeting with your pen will send wrong signals to the interviewer.·
Remember your interviewers’ names and pronounce them correctly.·
Do not begin with any negative note like, I had been waiting since long or it was too difficult to find venue etc..·
Punctuality:
Being on time is essential to a successful interview. Give yourself plenty of time to get to your destination, map out a route if you are unsure in any way. Being early gives you time to relax and prepare for your interview. If you are going to be late or unable to attend for any unforeseeable reason call ahead and let them know. This will show them that you are serious and that you take your commitments seriously. In case of delay from company side, they would be aware that there is a delay, no need to remind them once interview starts or expect a sorry, rather make best use of time available.
Preparation:
Keep extra copies of your resume with you. You may be asked to hand out a copy of resume to each of the interviewers for their reference.·
DISECT company website thoroughly. Thoroughly research the company’s features, standards, past performance and current news. Your overall knowledge about the company will be discussed.·
Have an idea about what is expected of you and what you expect of the company. You should be able to effectively articulate your expectations and voice your concerns to avoid any misunderstandings from either side.·
Keep your answers ready for questions regarding reasons to resign from the previous company, your current salary and expected pay package.·
Do not lie, even though you might be tempted to bend certain facts. Employers can easily verify your statements and lying will only destroy your image.·

What is .NET Reflection?
.NET Framework's
Reflection API allows you to fetch type (assembly) information at runtime
programmatically. We can also achieve late binding by using .NET Reflection. At
runtime, the Reflection mechanism uses the PE file to read information about
the assembly. Reflection enables you to use code that is not available at
compile time. .NET Reflection allows an application to collect information
about itself and also to manipulate on itself. It can be used effectively to
find all types in an assembly and/or dynamically invoke methods in an assembly.
This includes information about the type, properties, methods, and events of an
object. With Reflection, we can dynamically create an instance of a type, bind
the type to an existing object, or get the type from an existing object and
invoke its methods or access its fields and properties. We can also access
attribute information using Reflection.
Using Reflection,
you can get any kind of information which you can see in a class viewer; for
example, information on the methods, properties, fields, and events of an
object

Infosys .Net
Interview Questions (.NET, Database and General)
.NET
1. How do you rate yourself in .NET
2. What is caching and types of caching
Ans)
Caching is generally used to catch frequently accessed data. When u used catching at that time u have to depend upon certain variables like parameter, time etc..But one demerit of using catching is if you are using dynamic page at that time u will unable to get the updated value.

Types of catching:
1. Data caching
2. Output caching
3. Fragment caching
1. Data caching
2. Output caching
3. Fragment caching
To improve the
performance of Web Pages, we use Caching. Caching is a used for persisting data
in memory for immediate access to the program calls. It has three types:
1. Output Caching -
to fetch page level information and data
2. Fragment Caching - to cache the information of a structure level.
3. Application Caching - to fetch the information of an application.
3. What does VS.NET contains
VS.NET contains .NET FRAMEWORK includes Window form, Web Form, Base Class Libraries, CLR and Console applications
4. What is JIT, what are types of JITS and their purpose?
Ans) just-in-time compilation (JIT), also known as dynamic translation,
is a technique for improving the runtime performance of a computer program.

4. What is JIT, what are types of JITS and their purpose?
Ans) just-in-time compilation (JIT), also known as dynamic translation,
is a technique for improving the runtime performance of a computer program.
Computer programs
had two modes of runtime operation,
Either interpreted or static compilation
Interpreted code is translated from a high-level language to a machine code continuously during every execution, whereas statically compiled code is translated into machine code before execution, and only requires this translation once.
JIT compilers represent a hybrid approach, with translation occurring continuously, as with interpreters, but with caching of translated code to minimize performance degradation. It also offers other advantages over statically compiled code at development time, such as handling of late-bound data types and the ability to enforce security guarantees.
The role of the Just-In-Time (JIT) compilers is to convert the bytecode into native code or the machine code for execution. The execution speed of the application is increased by the use of the JIT compilers. There are many JIT compilers. Some of them are LaTTe, Cacao, IBM JIT compiler, OpenJIT, SableJIT, and shuJIT.
5. What is SOAP, UDDI and WSDL
SOAP
A framework for exchanging XML-based information in a network SOAP used to be an acronym: Simple Object Access Protocol "This is no longer the case." (it is neither simple nor has anything to do with objects) the currently most hyped XML/Web service technology mostly just hot air...
WSDL (Web Service Description Language)
An XML-based language for describing network services WSDL descriptions of capabilities and locations of services like an interface description language for Web services communication using SOAP or direct HTTP
UDDI (Universal Description, Discovery, and Integration)
provides a registry mechanism for clients and servers to find each other uses SOAP for communication

6. What are clr?
cts? cls?
All .NET
applications are compiled into Intermediate Language code (MSIL). When executed
on the CLR, MSIL is converted into native machine code specific to the
operating platform. This process is done by a Just In Time (JIT) compiler. The
code executed by the CLR is called as
Managed Code. This code is type safe and thoroughly checked by the CLR before being deployed. The .NET runtime also provides a facility to incorporate existing COM components
and DLL's into a .NET application. Code that is not controlled by the CLR is called Unmanaged Code.

and DLL's into a .NET application. Code that is not controlled by the CLR is called Unmanaged Code.
The .NET Framework
is further comprised of Common Type System (CTS) and Common Language
Specification (CLS). The CTS defines the common data types used by .NET
programming languages. The CTS tells you how to represent characters and
numbers in a program. The CLS represents the guidelines defined by for the .NET
Framework. These specifications are normally used by the compiler developers
and are available for all languages, which target the .NET Framework.
Database
6. What is dataset?
Datasets store a copy of data from the database tables. However, Datasets cannot directly retrieve data from Databases. DataAdapters are used to link Databases with DataSets. If we see diagrammatically,
DataSets < ----- DataAdapters < ----- DataProviders Backup And Restore
5. Steps in webpart deployment. You have no full permissions to deploy in production server. Then how you will deploy?
Ans:Use wssv22 tool. It creates wsp file( Site package file)
