Chapter 3

The author fails to note a change that needs to be made in the code.

Chapter 3, in the section Binding a TextBox to Data.

The author mentions that "public BindingSource bndSource;" needs to be added at the class level.

He goes on to give code that needs to be added to the Form1 and change_data_source procedures.

All this is fine, but as described the code will not run without exception.

In the code for Form1, the line:
BindingSource bndSource = new BindingSource();
must be changed to:
bndSource = new BindingSource();

The code provided by the author for download runs fine. It has the change. The book does not mention that it needs to be made. So a reader following along will see the exception.

Sorry that I don't have a page number. I bought the eBook from Amazon and none are listed. (I wish I had bought the paper copy. It is much harder on the kindle to thumb through pages comparing my code with that of the book's).
Generally I am really liking this book!
