You're trying to locate your application's main CSS files in an ASP.NET Core project. In which directory would you typically find them?

  • wwwroot/css
  • Controllers
  • Models
  • Views
In an ASP.NET Core project, static web assets, such as CSS files, JavaScript files, and images, are typically stored in the "wwwroot" directory. The "wwwroot/css" folder is a common location for CSS files. This separation allows these assets to be served directly to clients without going through the application's routing and controllers.

Which method is commonly used in the Startup.cs file to enable the serving of static files in an ASP.NET Core application?

  • app.UseStaticFiles()
  • app.EnableStaticFiles()

When using Entity Framework Core, how can developers specify relationships like one-to-one, one-to-many, or many-to-many between entities?

  • Fluent API
  • Annotations
  • Data Annotations
  • Model Builder

How can you handle optimistic concurrency in Entity Framework Core?

  • Use database locks
  • Use pessimistic concurrency
  • Use timestamps or row version columns
  • Manually update records
Optimistic concurrency in EF Core is typically handled by using timestamps or row version columns in the database. When two users try to update the same record concurrently, EF Core checks if the row version has changed since the data was initially loaded, and if so, it raises a concurrency exception, allowing you to handle the conflict.

You're reviewing a colleague's code and notice that they've added the same namespace to multiple Razor views. How can you suggest an optimization to this approach?

  • Leave it as is, it's the standard practice
  • Suggest moving the namespace declaration to the _Layout.cshtml file
  • Suggest moving the namespace declaration to the _ViewImports.cshtml file
  • Remove the namespace declaration altogether
The optimization suggestion would be to move the common namespace declaration to the _ViewImports.cshtml file. This way, it's defined once and is available for all views, reducing redundancy and making it easier to manage.

In SignalR, which transport method does it fall back to if WebSockets are not available?

  • Server-Sent Events (SSE)
  • Long Polling
  • WebRTC
  • gRPC
SignalR is a real-time framework for ASP.NET Core that supports various transport methods. When WebSockets are not available due to network restrictions or browser compatibility, SignalR falls back to Long Polling. Long Polling involves sending a request to the server, keeping it open until new data is available, and then responding.
