Hey I was working on a laptop earlier and it was a bit fiddly to look it up.

1.) Authentication modes,Default,and there uses,how to use passport mode
The most common website auth mode is Forms. It means that the user logs in via a form on the webpage and then an authticket is stored in a cookie for identification. As far as I know it is possible to use passport with .net but you have to have a contract with microsoft to use it. Passport is also an old name for the windows live id as far as i know.

2.)Sql Triggers
A trigger is a way of getting some sql code to automatically execute in certain circumstances.

3.)Adding a column name thr. query.
Not sure what you mean by this?

4.)Diff. b/n server.transfer and response.redirect
There are several differences. In my experience you should mostly be using response.redirect. This performs a 302 redirect by default (response.redirectpermanent has been introduced in .net 4). You can read about the new one here:

The concept behind server.transfer was brought over from the classic asp days and it has always seemed like a messy way to do things. If you transfer a page then several things happen: the page url stays as the previous page, the page lifecycle carries on in the new page without throwing away the other pages data and the authentication for that page is not rechecked against the new pages url.

There are various technical discussions of this:

5.)diff. b/n html textbox with iD & runat="server" &asp.net textbox
The asp.net textbox is a control in itself. When you add runat="server" to a normal html tag then it is converted into one of several controls. Most of the controls dont have a class dedicated to that tag and they become HtmlGenericControl instances:

The input tag does have an equivalent class however which is HtmlInputText:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.ui.htmlcontrols.htmlinputtext.aspx

If you look at the left hand menu you will find a bunch of classes all starting with Html. This shows you the other tags that have dedicated classes.



Well thats half of them... maybe somebody else wants to offer up a few answers?
