    Can you please give the answer to this?

  • Read thoroughly the Books Online and gather as much information on all the topics by reading Various Blog's and increase your knowledge, and then put in into practise. That is how you can crack and become a real Pro.

    No matter how much you mug up these Q and A, a slight deviation to the topic by the Interviewer in the Interview, you are caught.

  • I am not the first and probably wont be the last to say this.

    Memorising so-called interview questions is not a good idea, could you actually explain how you came to that answer if the interviewer asked you how you worked out the answer.

    It is not a good way to gain knowledge, stick with BOL and articles, blogs on the net.

    There is nothing worse than answering every interview question correctly and then failing to handle any issues that come up later.

  • Once more with feeling....

    Memorising interview questions is not the way to prepare for an interview. A competent interviewer can tell someone who knows the material from someone who's memorised answers but doesn't understand the material.

    Know what you know, don't exaggerate your abilities and don't be afraid to say "I don't know" (but have a plan for how to find out)

  • gilamonster,

    it's not your business how people like to answer the questions in the interview. Stop whining ok, you are annoying.

    gilamonster,

    it's not your business how people like to answer the questions in the interview. Stop whining ok, you are annoying.

    Actually, what is annoying is people asking for answers to possible interview questions. The best answer, if you don't know, is "I'm sorry, but I don't know; but I do know where to look and here are the steps I'd take to answer this question ..." Memorizing possible answers does NO ONE any good.
