Explain the use of DataAdapter.-DataAdapter provides the bridge to connect command objects to a dataset object.-It populates the table in the dataset from the data store and also pushes the changes in the dataset back into the data store. Methods of DataAdapter: Fill - Populates the dataset object with data from the data source FillSchema - Extracts the schema for a table from the data source Update - It is use to update the data source with the changes made to the content of the dataset What is impersonation in ASP.NET?Impersonation is a technique to access application resources using the identity of some other user.By default, Impersonation is off <identity impersonate="true" userName="domain name\username" password="password"/> Can you explain the basic use of DataView?DataView is used for sorting and searching data within datatable.It has got following methods: Find - returns the index of the row FindRow - Returns a collection of DataRow AddNew - Add a new row to the DataView object Delete - Deletes the specific row from DataView object What is Authorization in ASP.NET?Usually after a user is authenticated by means of a login, the process of authorization is followed where the decision is made whether a user should be granted access to a specific resource.There are 2 ways to authorize access to a given resource: URL authorization: URL authorization is performed by the UrlAuthorizationModule It maps users and roles to URLs in ASP.NET applications. File authorization: File authorization is performed by the FileAuthorizationModule. It checks the access control list of the .aspx or .asmx handler file to determine whether a user should have access to the file. What is connection pooling and how to enable and disable connection pooling?Connection pool is created when we open connection first time. When a new connection is created with same connection string as the first one, it reuses the same and existing connection object from the pool without creating a new one.If the connection string is different then a new connection pooling will be created, thus won't use the existing connection object. By default, we have connection pooling enabled in .Net. To disable connection pooling, set Pooling = false in the connection string. Why is an object pool required?To enhance performance and reduce the load of creating new objects, instead re using existing objects stored in memory pool. Object Pool is a container of objects that are for use and have already been created. Whenever an object creation request occurs, the pool manager serves the request by allocating an object from the pool. This minimizes the memory consumption and system's resources by recycling and re-using objects. When the task of an object is done, it is sent to the pool rather than being destroyed. This reduces the work for garbage collector and fewer memory allocations occur.Can you explain the importance of Finalize method in .NET?Clean up activities are entrusted to .NET Garbage collector in .NET. But unmanaged resources such as File, COM object etc. are beyond the scope of Garbage collector. For these type of objects, we have Finalize method where clean up code for unmanaged resources can be put.Advantages and disadvantages of using cookiesAdvantages:Cookies are stored in client thus no burden as far as space is concern Cookies are light weight and involves no complexities while using Disadvantages: Most browsers have put a check on the size of a cookie. Cookies can be disabled on the client thus limiting the use of cookies Cookies are tampered prone and thus associate security concern
