Question: Briefly explain the concept behind ASP.net.

ASP.NET Framework is a part of the .NET framework used to create a dynamic website, web application
and web services. It is a server-side technology that uses all .NET compatible language such as C#,
VB.NET, J# etc. which are compiled to Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL). ASP.NET uses server
control to develop a rapid and interactive application in an easy way.

Question: What are server controls in ASP.NET?

The ASP.NET server controls are objects on the ASP.NET pages that run when the Web page is requested.
Many server controls, such as button and text box, are similar to the HTML controls. In addition to the
HTML controls, there are many controls, which include complex behaviour, such as the controls used to
connect to data sources and display data.

Question: What is the difference between client-side and server-side validations?

Client-side validations work at the client end with the help of scripting languages such as JavaScript or
jQuery and VBScript. On the other hand, server-side validations work at the server end with the help of
programming languages like C#, VB, F# etc. Server validations work when you submit or send data to the
server.

Question: Explain webconfig file?

Answer: The web.config file is crucial because it contains the configuration settings for the application. It
keeps your entire configuration separate from your code so you can easily change settings without code
changes. It also allows you to potentially encrypt the configuration settings for increased security.
