What do you mean you learned ASP.NET? How? What did you program with it?
What do you know already? WPF? Winforms?

What do you know about databases? Which ones?

You need only MVC 5, other versions have some differences, but you're unlikely to encounter anything under 4 in new projects.

Sir, I made 4-5 dynamic websites with asp.net using SQL server database. And i know nothing about WPF but i know windows forms.

You could learn WPF. Not sure what you mean by dynamic websites, but if all of them are made from the template of the first, you didn't learn much. If you didn't by now, learn design patterns, study questions here and their answers, see if anything looks like you would do (and correct it if you would do it against best practices)

Don't, for the moment.
Instead, concentrate on what you have learned, and become really proficient in that. It's better to get a solid grounding, solid experience, in a subject before you start expanding into other fields. Otherwise, you end up as someone who can say they "know" loads of technologies - but can't actually use any of them efficiently.

Experience and competence come from usage, not from learning.

Yes you are right sir, Actually i was practicing asp.net from more than 1 year...so now i think it's time to learn other thing.

CHill60 17-Mar-15 5:49am

"more than 1 year" !!! ... I've been using C# seriously for over 4 years, Visual Basic in all it's forms for more than 30 years and SQL for over 20 ... I'm still consolidating my knowledge of them, and still learning new things in those topic areas!
You also mention that you've written 4-5 dynamic websites with asp.net and SQL ... my advice would be the same as OriginalGriff's ... keep doing that until you are really proficient ... 20-30 would show some real application of the knowledge you have so far.

Raj Negi 17-Mar-15 8:03am

so i should learn more about asp.net instead of starting new framework?

Sinisa Hajnal 17-Mar-15 8:50am

You should learn more about asp.net and winforms (that is, things you already know something about)

Raj Negi 17-Mar-15 13:10pm

ok sir...one last thing, can you point out or suggests some topics which i should know/practicing in asp.net. That would really help me to explore my study.

CHill60 17-Mar-15 9:06am

Not just learn more but become more proficient in what you know and demonstrate it by writing more websites. You can always use those as your "portfolio" when looking for jobs :)

Ajax. JQuery. It will help you later with MVC, you will learn to use less server side code, more separation of the concerns (google this if you don't know what it is). Can you describe general layout of your project(s) - I mean how many projects in the solution for a web site for example, how do you separate/organize various parts of the code etc...

Raj Negi 18-Mar-15 6:49am

I used only two layouts.
1.) aspx page for design and aspx.cs page for coding and send/retreive data to/from database using stored procedure.
2.) aspx page for design and aspx.cs page for sending data through BAL(business access layer) then to DAL(Data access layer) then to Database.

Sinisa Hajnal 20-Mar-15 3:08am

Second one is better. It cleanly separates logic, data and presentation. Work on that, learn design patterns, see if any applies to your projects, learn jQuery and start adding it to your pages...maybe accordion here, small panel updating via ajax (NOT update panel, it also uses ajax, but it hides the implementation for you) etc...

Raj Negi 20-Mar-15 9:18am

thanks sir for your guidance...i will surely work on it.
Thanks Again :)
