Daily Log

the candidate was supposedly expert in .NET but did not seem to. I gave a score of 3.5 in the scale of 1 to 5

- the resume claimed lots of work done on .NET Remoting and .NET Webservices.
- atleast the interview gave me a chance to refresh my memory on those two.

.NET REMOTING
o client, server(listener), remote object (marshalbyrefobject, byvalue through seriablizable)
o soapsuds.exe to create (server metadata)
o IIS can act as a listener
o server.exe.config can provide registration mechanism
o activation mode (singlecall - singletone)
o system.runtime.remoting (.channels.tcp)
o server-activated object, client-activated object


.NET Web services
o wsdl to create client proxy
o [webmethod]
o Async?
o based on .NET remoting with soap formatter

General questions I had asked:
o GAC
o Boxing/unboxing
o abstract and interface
o vb class /.net class
o vb and vb.net
o delegates and events
