Silverlight Interview Questions – I
Hello folks,
Marching forward, I will post a series of Interview Questions on Silverlight. This would be first of its kind. This will cover questions at each level – easy, intermediate and advanced. And I am sure, other sites & users would post these on many other sites too
So keep watching this space. Some questions below to start with
Level: Developer
- What is the role of Silverlight Plugin in the Silverlight Application Life-Cycle?
- What does the keyword ‘type’ signify in the Silverlight Hosting page.
<object data="data:application/x-silverlight-2," type="application/x-silverlight-2" width="100%" height="100%">
- You have developed an application on Silverlight 2, will it execute on Silverlight 4 platform? Is vice-versa true?
- Your organization has blocked download of any software from Internet and you want to deploy your Silverlight Application as Intranet Application. The users do not have Silverlight plugin installed on their machine; however you have the installable. How do you plan to deploy your application? Will you change the application code to fit this requirement or change the organization policy?
- Your Silverlight application faces some technical errors while it is executed. Where will you write your code to get notification of these errors?
- Can any Silverlight Application be viewed on Linux? Or a specific installation is required?
- Assume your host page defines the background as White
<param name="background" value="white" />
while your MainPage.xaml (that loads initially) defines background as ‘Gray’
<Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot" Background="Gray">
What will be the color of the background?
- I have two actors to a Silverlight Application – Employee and Customer. The default page (default.html) should always open Customer view; whereas \view\employee.html should open Employee view.
How would you implement this?
- What is significance of initParams in
<param name="initParams" value="symbol=true" />
