C# Full Stack Developer interviews typically evaluate much more than C# syntax. Candidates may be expected to demonstrate knowledge of .NET, ASP.NET Core, REST APIs, SQL, Entity Framework Core, frontend technologies, authentication, software architecture, testing, Git, cloud deployment, and application security. Strong candidates should also be able to explain how they would design and troubleshoot real-world applications.

A good Full Stack Developer should be able to connect the entire flow:
UI → API → Business Logic → Database → External Services → Cloud Deployment
That end-to-end understanding is often what separates a developer who knows individual technologies from one who can build production-ready applications.
