1. Why are Server control tags shown in the browser instead of the controls it represents?

   This is because the server control tags were not converted into their respecting HTML element tags by ASP.Net. This happens when ASP.Net is not properly registered with IIS. .Net framework provides an Administration utility that manages the installation and uninstallation of multiple versions of ASP.NET on a single machine. You can find the file in C:\WINNT\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v**\aspnet_regiis.exe use the command: aspnet_regiis.exe -u ---> to uninstall current asp.net version. use the command: aspnet_regiis.exe -i ---> to install current asp.net version

Physically it may exist as dll or an exe. which can contain one or more files and they can be any file types like image files, text files etc. along with DLLs or EXEs.When you compile your source code by default the exe/dll which is generated is actually an assemblyand every assembly file contains information about itself which is called as Assembly Manifest.Namespace is an abstract container providing context for the items it holds and allows disambiguation of items having the same name (residing in different namespaces. It can also be said as a context for identifiers. So under a namespace you can have multiple assemblies.

11. Can you explain the difference between an ADO.NET Dataset and an ADO Recordset?

    • A DataSet can represent an entire relational database in memory, complete with tables, relations, and views.

    • A DataSet is designed to work without any continuing connection to the original data source.

    • Data in a DataSet is bulk-loaded, rather than being loaded on demand.

    • There's no concept of cursor types in a DataSet.

    • DataSets have no current record pointer You can use For Each loops to move through the data.

    • You can store many edits in a DataSet, and write them to the original data source in a single operation.

    • Though the DataSet is universal, other objects in ADO.NET come in different versions for different data sources.
