I have been asked to do a couple of technical interviews for a .NET development position and was wondering what kinds of questions people typically ask when they have done interviews in the past. The position will be doing mainly ASP.NET using C# and ADO.NET with an occasional Web Service, Windows Service, and WinForm.

I have been wanting a small external usb 2.0 hard drive for quite awhile. Today I finally find one at http://www.iomagic.com/gigabank/giga.asp .
Update: I actually ended up getting a portable drive from seagate (http://www.seagate.com/products/personal/portable/index.html). I got to the store and they had this drive right next to the iogear. Since seagate is a well-known brand I thought I would at least look at it. The thing that sold me on the seagate besides the brand name was that it has an 8mb buffer and was a 100 GB instead of 80GB for only 30 dollars more. I am going to be testing the drive over the next week or so. My main goal is to use this drive to run my virtual server images plus I was tired of the size/weight of my external maxtor drive.

Saw this on Janine’s personal blog @ http://jiwhite.ebloggy.com/ . I have been having this problem ever since I re-install everything on my laptop. Thanx for the fix.
Excerpt from Janine’s Blog:
I finally found a solution to a programming problem that has been wasting my time for months. Approximately every other time (sometimes more) that I compiled an ASP .NET application, then tried to test the site, I would get and Access is Denied error indicating that there was a problem with the machine.config or web.config file while trying to load the assemblies. The only reliable way I found to clear this issue was to reboot, which was wasting a lot of my time. It turns out that the issue has nothing to do with the config files. It is cause by the Indexing Service catching the files, even if the ASP .NET application doesn't use Indexing! The best solution is to turn off the Indexing if you're not using it. For example, on my Windows XP Pro machine, I went to Start>Administrative Tools>Services, right click on Indexing Service and select Stop. I also opened up the Properties for the Indexing Service and set it to start Manually, instead of Automatically.
An excellent article on this topic is Access is NOT Denied! Also, thanks to Eric Bowen's blog for pointing the way to it.
