"P2.3. What You Need to Use This Book"

The following excerpt from this book's preface:

"This book presents code together with output so that you can use book without loading the
actual code. Code generated automatically by Visual Studio is not shown. You don't need to
retype the code in this book since it is available in both C# and Visual Basic on the
O'Reilly website (http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/9780596101404). T-SQL and PL/SQL code is
also available for download."

I have downloaded both of the zip files from the site (see above ). I cannot find any of
the Visual Basic code samples in extracted files from either of the two zip archives.
Where can I find them?

The source code VB zip file is corrupted and will only unzip the first charter. Can you fix this. I've down loaded it twice on 2 different pc's and the results are the same.

Thanks

Last line

If you want the constraint name to be printed in the output, you have to change the last line of code to Console.WriteLine("\tName = {0} ", dt.Constraints[0].ConstraintName);

// Set Primary key

According to AdventureWorks the primary key for this table is SalesOrderID and
SalesOrderDetailID, so that bit of code should read:

// Set the primary key
dtDetail.PrimaryKey =
new DataColumn[] { cols["SalesOrderID"],
cols["SalesorderDetailID"] };

Bottom of page reference to XmlValidatingReader class

This appears to be a serious technical error. The XmlValidatingReader class is referenced here and throughout Chapter 9 yet it was obsolete with the .NET Framework 2.0 release. Microsoft recommends using the XmlReader class to validate XML.

Thanks.
