Basic .NET useful questions

Junior, medior or senior it is always a good thing to evaluate your knowledge and fill in the gaps you may have. Questions always help to emphasize and pay extra attention to some particular aspects. I have tried below to gather a small collection of questions useful when working as a .Net software developer.

  2. Which of the following are value types? (Choose all that apply)
    • A. Decimal
