Not a comprehensive list, but a start.
You really should look at some employment agencies in your country too. Get to know the recruitment people and they can provide some assistance.
1. How many years experience do you have?
2. What is your highest academic qualification?
3. What is the difference between a Class and a Module?
4. Do you play football/soccer/cricket/paintball/drive go-karts/etc...?
5. Why should you not use global variables?
6. When, if ever, should you force the garbage collection to run?
7. In OO terminology, what does 'encapsulation' mean?
8. How would you test a new assembly?
9. If you have a programming question, where would you look for help and in which order...
a. Visual Studio Help
b. MSDN website
c. Google search
d. Your workmates
e. The Code Project
f. all of the above in that order
10. Do you comment all your code? (Honestly?)
11. Why should you be considered for this job? (i.e. what benefit can you bring to the company)
However, the most important one I ask potential candidates is:
12. Are you a TEAM PLAYER?

Oooohhhhh, I LOVE this one. In my experience, this means "Will you accept everything we say as gospel and not question anything we tell you or do to you?" Even way past the point where they cut your paycheck for doing outstanding work and give themselves raises afterward.

Hi Dave, yep I agree that's the way it could work - I have fallen foul of this too in the past, but I'm approaching it purely from a devloper's perspective (I'm not a manager) where pro-active teamwork is highly valued.
Among other things I've had guys metaphorically lock themselves in a closet and never interact with the rest of the team. When code review time comes along they take every fault found as a personal insult and invariably we find that their code has also diverged from the project scope considerably.
My philosophy is that it is not my code nor your code - all code is our code. (ego-less programming, the reference escapes me ATM) That way we all reap the rewards of our efforts.

You can use
Me.yourTableAdapter.Update(Me.yourDataBaseDataSet.yourTable)
Just as you load data
Me.yourTableAdapter.Fill(Me.yourDataBaseDataSet.yourTable)
and check whether you have created the primary key

do you mean this?
Dim connectionString As String = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Password="""";User ID=Admin;Data Source=""c:\databasename.mdb"";"
Dim objConn As New OleDb.OleDbConnection(connectionString)
objConn.Open()
Dim ds As New DataSet
Dim da2 As OleDb.OleDbDataAdapter
Dim sql As String
sql = "SELECT [Name] FROM Developer"
da2 = New OleDb.OleDbDataAdapter(sql, objConn)
da2.Fill(ds, "Developer")
Dim cb As New OleDb.OleDbCommandBuilder(da2)
ds.Tables("Developer").Rows(0).Item(0) = "yes"
da2.Update(ds, "Developer")
but it give me an "Invalid Operation Exception" ---"Dynamic SQL generation for the UpdateCommand is not supported against a SelectCommand that does not return any key column information."
can anyone tell me why?
p.s. do i have to created the primary key? why do i have to check?

What do you expect to happen?

It's virtually impossible for anyone to provide an answer based on this, unless that's the message you get when .NET 2.0 is not installed on the target machine.
Does your app do any sort of error logging ? Perhaps you should add some.

Hi,
In my new project(VS2005) i want to create a datagridview and in that view
a new datagridview!
But i don't know where to start
I know i have to use some sort of relationship with the dataset, but i don't know the rest!
I want to display a row With in front of the row a + (Like in Explorer)
which you can expand (-) and see for this new a new datagridview inside the other with the child
rows.
Example :
Row 1 --> Customer, name, ...
Row a --> orderid, item,...
Row b --> orderid, item,...
Row 2 --> customer, name, ...
Does anybody have an example or an article about this
Thanks
A.
