Table 5-2, ReadOnly entry |
Instead of "If true, content cannot be changed by user. Default is false, meaning
content can still be changed programmatically." it should be something like "If true,
content cannot be changed by user, though it can still be changed programmatically.
Default is false."

Examples 5-21 and 5-22 |
Changes are not indicated. These should be in bold (in both C# and VB.NET versions):
-- the method cblGenre_SelectedIndexChanged()
-- the attribute onSelectedIndexChanged="cblGenre_SelectedIndexChanged" on the
CheckBoxList element
-- the element for label lblGenre

Figure 5-12 |
The screen shot doesn't match the code. Only the ListItem's Value is
displayed, not "Value - Text" the way the code reads.

Table 5-15 |
Two of the descriptions contain spurious references to table cells.
For HorizontalAlign, instead of
"...the contents of all the cells in the row."
it should be
"...the contents of the panel."
For Wrap, instead of
"...the contents of the cell wraps."
it should be
"...the content of the panel wraps."

Output of Example 9-17 under the heading "Contents of the test array" |
The output under the "Contents of the test array" should
read :
100
200
300
.
.
1000
and NOT as shown in the book.
Since the code that produces this output is :
'populate the array
For i = 1 to arraySize - 1
testArray(i) = i * 100
Nex i
In the above code, i starts from 1 and goes on till 10 (arraysize is 11, therefore
arraySize - 1 is 10) and therefore the corresponding output should start from 100 and
go on till 1000 with an increment of 100.

3rd paragraph of text |
The beginning of the paragraph appears to be missing. It starts with a space:
" and Example 5-48 then test to see if the selected date is New Year's day."

1st paragraph |
The line break should come after the line continuation character (the underscore).
The first code snippet should either put the underscore at the end of the line, or
break it as apparently intended:
dim arTest( ) as string = _
CType(Application("arBooks"), string( ))
The second code snippet doesn't need an underscore at all, since it fits on one line.
It should be
dim arTest( ) as string = Application("arBooks")

paragraph numbered 3 |
3. PreRender
This is the phase just before the output is rendered. CreateChildControls is called,
if necessary, to create and initialize server controls in the control tree.
Modifications are made via the PreRender event, using the OnPreRender
method.
This sentence does not match the figure 6-5 on page 278 as there the
CreateChildControl method is called from the OnLoad event.

last code snipper (in C#) |
e.IsValid always appears to be true at the start of the validation method. So you
must set it to false to trigger a validation error. As written, no validation error
is ever triggered. (You have to use a "downlevel" browser to test this, or else the
client-side validation prevents the server-side validation to occur. Sadly, it
appears that Mozilla is considered "downlevel" by Microsoft -- so typical -- and
that's how I noticed this.)
I would suggest adding:
e.IsValid = false;
just before the try block.

Using a DataReader and onwards |
Throughout the book the explanation of the code using C# and VB.net
has increasingly leaned towards C# culminating in me being completely confused up to
page 519. The back cover says that the book is explained equally in C# and VB.net
????
From page 478 to 512 there is detailed description of C# coding
Using a Datareader - pg 478
DataView - pg 480
Creating Data Relations - pg - 481
Creating Data Objects by Hand - 497
Creating a DataTable by Hand (3 lines of VB support here)
Creating Primary Keys - pg 503
Creating Foreign Keys - pg 504
Creating Data Relations - 505
do i skip these pages? - i think they may be pretty important
Even the source code downloaded from LibertyAssociates is heavily C# biased for
chapter 11.

just under the figure |
The syntax for TransactionOption is as follows for VB.NET:
<WebMethod(TransactionOption:=TransactionOption.RequiresNew)>
For C#, it is as follows:
[WebMethod(Description=TransactionOption.RequiresNew)]"
Should read:
"The syntax for TransactionOption is as follows for VB.NET:
<WebMethod(TransactionOption:=TransactionOption.RequiresNew)>
For C#, it is as follows:
[WebMethod(TransactionOption=TransactionOption.RequiresNew)]"

3rd paragraph after appSettings sub-heading |
The error is printed twice: once in the first sentence of the third paragraph, and
again in the code section above the third paragraph (after the appSettings sub-
heading).
The error: System.Configuration.NameValueSectionHandler
The correction: System.Configuration.NameValueFileSectionHandler
"File" is part of the class name and should be printed between "Value" and "Section"
- it is printed correctly on page 922, which is an excerpt of machine.config.
