- How does ASP.NET distinguish a request for MVC from a request for Web API?
- Multiple entries are added to the route table. By convention, Web API controllers should use attributes to register routes that look for URLs that begin with
api/. If a URL doesn't begin withapi/then it should match other routes registered by MVC.

- What data formats does Web API support by default?
- x-www-formurlencoded, JSON, and XML.
- What is the difference between Xamarin and Xamarin.Forms?
- Xamarin allows developers to build native iOS, Android, and Windows apps using existing skills, teams, and code written in C# and .NET. But the user interfaces must be developed specifically for each platform. Xamarin.Forms allows developers to build native user interfaces for iOS, Android and Windows from a single, shared C# codebase using XAML.

ListView?- Data in a
