.Net (or Java) forms the core of Tridion, for building components, hence good amount of focus is there on .Net interview questions as well in any Tridion interview. There are hundreds of link related with .Net interview questions. However, if you want, you can also visit my website dedicated on .net at Coding ASP.net. It has host of several similar articles.  

Yon can search on Tridion portals for answers at stackexchange and sdltridionworld, giving answers here won't be too ethical :). However, yon can reach out to me through comment section for any particular answer you are looking for, I will try to get back to you as soon as posssible.

Thank you, hope this helps!
