Technical Questions vs Problem Solving

Question

Been reading a lot about interviews and that a good interviewer for a .NET Developer should consider your problem solving skills over a bunch of technical questions. I too believe I would do better writing code to solve a problem then sitting and explaining a bunch of technical terms. What are your thoughts? Did you lose a job because you didn't know a lot of technical questions but could solve any coding problem thrown at you? Are more interviews being aimed at problem solving?

Every industry see different hiring approaches with time & manpower saturation. In software programming now a days there is fashion of judging the analytical quality of candidates along with technical skills. Even most of companies hires logical & analytical mindsets even they have not perform good in their technical interviews(theory-understanding). Now development fashion is being changed and Agile pattern in which Scrum is playing an important role is playing an important role. Writing Unit test cases are important part of development and expectations from programmers are more. For a fresher questions are not so tough and generally asked what has been done in schooling.
