Fist chapter - building web applications

On the first basic example when I tried I got a

The control with ID 'UpdatePanel1' requires a ScriptManager on the page. The ScriptManager must appear before any controls that need it.

Some explanation on the script manager would be nice - something like "script manager is another example of how Microsoft - in an attempt to make things simpler - just makes things more complicated. If it seems like a an ineffectual way to do AJAX it is so welcome to .net. Here's how it works..."

"In fact, the Checked propery of a textbox is a Boolean ..."
Textbox do not have this property.

The control type you should be refering to is a checkbox.

I'm assuming this is a typographical error as the code actually uses the correct type, Checkbox, to reference the property Checked

4th paragraph : "you need to create a secont GridView..."

The second sentence in requests you "then drag a Label and TextBox inside the UpdatePanel."

No code is used to deal with this addition pair.

If you have been following the pages in sequence then this has already been performed in the previous section. There is no need for an additional pair.
