what is difference between Ienumerable and IList in c#

 IList is useful when you want to Add or remove items from the list. IList can find out the no of elements in the collection without iterating the collection. IList supports deferred execution.


You use IEnumerable when you want to loop through the items in a collection. IList is when you want to add, remove, and access the list contents out of order.


IList :

  1. IList exists in System.Collections Namespace.
  2. IList is used to access an element in a specific position/index in a list.
  3. Like IEnumerable, IList is also best to query data from in-memory collections like List, Array etc.
  4. IList is useful when you want to Add or remove items from the list.
  5. IList can find out the no of elements in the collection without iterating the collection.
  6. IList supports deferred execution.
  7. IList doesn't support further filtering.

IEnumerable :

  1. IEnumerable exists in System.Collections Namespace.
  2. IEnumerable can move forward only over a collection, it can’t move backward and between the items.
  3. IEnumerable is best to query data from in-memory collections like List, Array etc.
  4. IEnumerable doesn't support add or remove items from the list.
  5. Using IEnumerable we can find out the no of elements in the collection after iterating the collection.
  6. IEnumerable supports deferred execution.
  7. IEnumerable supports further filtering.

What is Entity Framework?

Image
  Entity framework is an Object Relational Mapping (ORM) framework that offers an automated mechanism to developers for storing and accessing the data in the database. Its purpose is to abstract the ties to a relational database, in such a way that the developer can relate to the database entity as to a set of objects and then to classes in addition to their properties. Entity Framework Development Approaches: There are mainly three approaches to create entity frameworks: 1. Code First Approach 2. Model First Approach 3. Database First Approach The Entity Data Model: The entity data model (EDM) is made up of three parts: Conceptual Model: The conceptual model represents the model classes (also known as entities) and their relationships. This will be independent of the database table's architecture. It describes your business objects and their relationships in XML files. Mapping Model: A mapping model specifies how the conceptual model is translated into a storage model. The Mappi...

Explain the ways to increase the performance of EF.

 Entity Framework's performance is enhanced by following these steps: Choose the right collection for data manipulation. Do not put all DB objects into one entity model. When the entity is no longer required, its tracking should be disabled and altered. Use pre-generating Views to reduce response time for the first request. Don't fetch all fields unless needed. Whenever possible, avoid using Views and Contains. Bind data to a grid or paging only by retrieving the number of records needed. Optimize and debug LINQ queries. Whenever possible, use compiled queries.
