String is a reference type. In the below code, what would be the output?

class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
string s = "abc";
CallMethod(s);
Console.WriteLine(s);
Console.Read();

}
static void CallMethod(string s)
{
s = "xyz";
}
}

Output: abc

difference between server.transfer and response.redirect

Both Respone.Redirect and Server.Transfer open up another page, but the interaction between client(browser) and server(asp.net) differs in each situation.

Resonse.Redirect simply tell the browser to visit another page.
Its the reponsibility of the browser to open up the another page.
External sites can be opened.

Server.Transfer works for only sites which runs on the server.
External sites cannot be opened.
Sharing states between pages is much easier using Server.Transfer.
Server.Transfer keeps the URL the same. This may lead to confusion.

unit testing void methods

Assert class does not allow us to test void methods. So the work around would be to throw Exceptions from the void method, and handle it in your test class.

NUnit.Framework provides a method level attibute - ExpectedException for handling exceptions in your test class.
