| Other Digital Version | chapter 19. Kindle version for iPad | The exercises in chapter 19 do not work. The first exercise does not generate a public method GetEnumerator() but rather a private explicit interface method which is then not visible to the foreach function in the EnumeratorTest. It is the situation described earlier in the book in chapter 13 for the numberOfLegs function. The final exercise is simply configured wrongly in the download, you set the target folder for the generated code to be the same as the previous version of BinaryTree folder which makes it difficult to get the IteratorBinaryTree version of BinaryTree to work. I won't struggle with it any more, but you can't get from the download code to a version that works by following the text in the book. |

When trying to debug the Windows 8.1 app, the image indicates that we should see the formatting exception in our code. I had to tweak the Exception Settings in my VS2013 IDE to enable breaking when exceptions are thrown. I don't remember tweaking those before, but without enabling those it wouldn't work. This was under the "Debug" menu, "Exceptions". |
