Ques 1. Whats the advantage of using System.Text.StringBuilder over System.String?

Ques 2. Can you store multiple data types in System.Array?
You never use System. Array directly. You can store items whose data type is equivalent to, or derived from, the data type of the array. This means that you can store multiple data types, provided that they derive from a common base type, or implement a common interface.

Ques 10. Why is it a bad idea to throw your own exceptions?
Well, if at that point you know that an error has occurred, then why not write the proper code to handle that error instead of passing a new Exception object to the catch block? Throwing your own exceptions signifies some design flaws in the project.

ODBC.NET is a deprecated layer provided for backward compatibility to ODBC engines.
