UNCONFIRMED  errors and comments from readers:


{P2.3} "P2.3. What You Need to Use This Book";
The following excerpt from this book's preface:

"This book presents code together with output so that you can use book without loading the 
actual code. Code generated automatically by Visual Studio is not shown. You don't need to 
retype the code in this book since it is available in both C# and Visual Basic on the 
O'Reilly website (http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/9780596101404). T-SQL and PL/SQL code is 
also available for download."

I have downloaded both of the zip files from the site (see above ). I cannot find any of 
the Visual Basic code samples in extracted files from either of the two zip archives. 
Where can I find them?


{105} // Set Primary key;
According to AdventureWorks the primary key for this table is SalesOrderID and 
SalesOrderDetailID, so that bit of code should read:

// Set the primary key
dtDetail.PrimaryKey =
new DataColumn[] { cols["SalesOrderID"],
cols["SalesorderDetailID"] };


{140}First paragraph - Output fields from DataReader row ....;
dr["ContactID"], dr["LastName"], dr["FirstName"]);

should read

dr["ContactID"], dr["FirstName"], dr["LastName"]);
