Q:

You are a member of a team of developers creating several ASP.NET applications for XYZ. You want to create a reusable toolbar that will be used in each of the applications. The toolbar will be displayed at the top of each page viewed by the user.


The contents of the toolbar will vary depending on options each user selects when creating a profile.


You want to be able to add the toolbar to the ASP.NET toolbox for each of the developers on your team.What should you do?

A) Create a new Web Control Library project. Create the toolbar within a Web custom control. B) Add a new Web user control to your ASP.NET project. Create the toolbar within the Web user control.
C) Add a new Web Form to your ASP.NET project. Design the toolbar within the Web Form and save the Web Form with an .ascx extension. D) Add a new component class to your ASP.NET project. Design the toolbar within the designer of the component class.
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Create a new Web Control Library project. Create the toolbar within a Web custom control.

Explanation:

Web custom controls are compiled code, which makes them easier to use but more difficult to create. You can add a Web custom control to the Toolbox and display it in a visual designer with full Properties window support and all the other design-time features of ASP.NET server controls. 

 

Incorrect Answers:

B: Web user controls are easy to make, but they can be less convenient to use in advanced scenarios such as this. Because Web user controls are compiled dynamically at run time they cannot be added to the Toolbox


C: A Web form would be inadequate.

 

D: The Component class Provides the base implementation for the IComponent interface and enables object-sharing between applications. It does not fit in this scenario.

Q:

You are the administrator of a SQL Server 2000 computer. You configure SQL Server to perform C2 auditing. Audit logs are saved in the C:MSSQLAudit folder.The server functions normally for several days, but then the MSSQLServer service shuts down without warning. You cannot restart the service.You need to restart the MSSQLServer service. What should you do?

A) Start the MSSQLServer service manually by using the -m startup option. B) Start the MSSQLServer service manually by using the -s startup option.
C) Set the SQLServerAgent service's startup method to Disabled. Start the MSSQLServer service. D) Delete the audit logs from the C:\MSSQL\Audit folder. Start the MSSQLServer service.
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) Delete the audit logs from the C:\MSSQL\Audit folder. Start the MSSQLServer service.

Explanation:

SQL Server functioned for several days but now it is impossible to start it.
The most likely cause is the size of the auditing log files. The maximum file size for the audit log is fixed at 200 megabytes (MB). When the audit log file reaches 200 MB, a new file will be created and the old file handle will be closed. If the directory fills up, then the instance of Microsoft SQL Server is stopped. The system administrator needs to either free up disk space for the audit log before restarting the instance of SQL Server or restart the instance of SQL Server

Note 1: SQL Server Agent monitors itself and the SQL Server service.
SQL Server Agent can restart the local instance of SQL Server if it has terminated for reasons other than a typical shutdown.

Note 2: Start the MSSQLServer service manually by using the -f startup option would start the service with minimal configuration. It could be used when some configuration errors have been made and the MSSQLServer service isn't able to start.

Q:

You develop an inventory management application called XYZManagement that will call a Microsoft SQL Server stored procedure named sp_GetDailyXYZSales. The stored procedure will run a query that returns your daily sales total as an output parameter. This total will be displayed to users in a message box.


Your application uses a SqlCommand object to run sp_GetDailyXYZSales. You write the
following code to call sp_GetDailyXYZSales:
SqlConnection cnn = new SqlConnection(myConnString);
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(“sp_GetDaily XYZ Sales”, cnn);
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
SqlParameter prm = cmd.Parameters.Add(“@ItemTotal”,SqlDbType.Int);
prm.Direction = ParameterDirection.Output;
cnn.Open();
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();


Now you must write additional code to access the output parameter. Which code segment should you use?

A) MessageBox.Show(?Total is: ? + cmd.Parameters[?@Output?].Value.ToString()); B) MessageBox.Show(?Total is: ? + cmd.Parameters[?@Output?].ToString());
C) MessageBox.Show(?Total is: ? + cmd.Parameters[?@ItemTotal? D) MessageBox.Show(?Total is: ? + cmd.Parameters[?@ItemTotal?
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) MessageBox.Show(?Total is: ? + cmd.Parameters[?@ItemTotal?

Explanation:

The @ItemTotal parameter is declared as an output parameter with SQL Server data type INT.We use the Value property of the SQLParameter class to retrieve the value of this parameter. We must also convert the INT value to a string value with the ToString method. We then supply this string to the MessageBox.Show method. 

 

Incorrect Answers


Option A, B:
The @ItemTotal parameter is the output parameter. Using @Output this way is incorrect. Output is a keyword and no variable named @Output has been declared.


Option D:
We must use the Value method to retrieve the value of the parameter..
