Example 2-1 in Chapter 2 |
Sentence reads, "You can change the name of the output file by using the /out
compiler option:
c:vbc /t:exe /r:hello.dll /out:hello.exe hello-client.vb"
If I use this line command I obtain the file hello.exe.
But when I run it, I receive an exception error.
If I use insteed the line command:
c:vbc /t:exe /r:hello.dll hello-client.vb
I obtain the file hello-client.exe that run with no error.
Is it possible that the problem in the first example depends on the fact that the two
files have same name:
'hello.dll' and 'hello.exe' ?
AUTHOR: This is in fact an error. The original syntax in
the book works...but the /out parameter cannot have
the same assembly name as the /r parameter. So,
something like this is more appropriate (making the
output file called helloworld.exe instead):
C:>vbc /t:exe /r:hello.dll /out:helloworld.exe
hello-client.vb

Table2-1 |
In my help file, it is stated that the Decimal type is 128 bit, not 96.
AUTHOR: The "decimal" keyword which is used in C# is a 128-bit
integer. The System.Decimal class which corresponds to
the Decimal type in VB.NET is a 96-bit integer. This
is NOT an error in the book, but perhaps some
clarification is in order.
