Figure 13-18

Figure 13-18 is supposed to be a figure of the FileCopier Setup Project and its
properties (as refered to by the second paragraph). Instead is it a figure of the
File Copier form and its properties. Figure 13-18 is a duplicate of figure 13-8.

Middle of page under 'Finding type methods'

System.Reflection.BindingFlags does not contain a definition for 'LookupAll'.
Besides, 'GetMembers' did not use 'BindingFlags' in example 18-5 (It is from example
18-5 that this code is understood to be a clip of).

Just below middle of page, in code snippet

The comment says "assign the decremented value and display the results". The value
is not assigned in the code since it was assigned already.

Also, the comment is inside the Incrementer() function, so it should say
"incremented" value.

This problem recurs in the code snippet at the top of page 577.
