The note reads "You can download the source code for this book from the publisher's site at Provide URL Here." I assume it was intended to provide the actual URL instead of the apparent placeholder "Provide URL Here".

Note from the Author or Editor:
Change all instances of "Provide URL Here." in the book to read "http://aka.ms/ADONETEFSbS/files" so that the reader can locate the required files.

6 should have the image in 9 and 9 should have the image in 6 :) HTH

Note from the Author or Editor:
The graphics after the two steps have been swapped. The image shown after step 6 should actually appear after step 9. Likewise, the image shown after step 9 should actually appear after step 6. I don't have the copies of my books yet, but in looking at the PDFs for the book, I see that this error was in place long before anything went to print, so I'm assuming that the error appears in all versions of the product.

Note from the Author or Editor:
In step 6 on page 273, change btnClose to btnCancel and btnClose_Click() to btnCancel_Click().

Option 2 states to open the Stored Procedures folder, however this should be the Views folder.

Note from the Author or Editor:
Please change "Stored Procedures folder" in Step 2 to "Views folder". The screenshot that follows clearly shows that it should be "Views folder".
