Errata

figure 1.8, 3rd block( column), child site names ?/Report2009? are the same under the top level site, which is not possible. It must be different.

For experienced dev's I think these are minor problems, but for a novice it could be problematic:

First: Not really an error, but anyway: my path to powershell is not %WINDOR%\SysNative\ etc but "%WINDIR%\SysWOW64\" etc. (machine Windows Server 2008 R2). Of course the book is 2 years old so maybe things have changed.

Second: maybe not really an error, but I had to add double quotes to the post-build event commandline (WingtipDevProject1) around some of the arguments to get it building. The error I got was:

The command "%WINDIR%\SysWOW64\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -Command
"E:\Download\InsideSharePoint2010\InsideSharePoint2010\Chapter02\WingtipDevProject1\WingtipDevProject1\DeploymentFiles\commands

\BuildCommandDispatcher.ps1 WingtipDevProject1 E:\Download

\InsideSharePoint2010\InsideSharePoint2010\Chapter02\WingtipDevProject1\WingtipDevProject1\ E:\Download

\InsideSharePoint2010\InsideSharePoint2010\Chapter02\WingtipDevProject1\WingtipDevProject1\bin\debug\WingtipDevProject1.dll BuildSolution ""

exited with code 1.

So I changed the commandline to:
%WINDIR%\SysWOW64\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -Command "$(ProjectDir)DeploymentFiles\commands\BuildCommandDispatcher.ps1" "$(ProjectName)" "$(ProjectDir)" "$(TargetPath)" "$(ConfigurationName)"

I comment on my earlier erratum-submission which is incorrect: quotes should not be added. It appeared I had to set the security policy to allow execution of powershell scripts (Set-ExecutionPolicy "bypass") (which is allowed because I'm on a dev-machine)

On the second code snippet on this page, where explaining the CAML code, under the File tag, attributes Url and Name are MySitePage.aspx. Then, on the explanation below the code it reades that the Url attribute is "MySitePage1.aspx". You need to remove the "1" or change the Name attribute on the example.

The javascript the get the site is missing parentheses:

site = ctx.get_web;

should be:

site = ctx.get_web();

"OnTaskCreated" should be "OnTaskChanged".

The last paragraph includes the following: "Next, we create a second new activity by using the OnTaskCreated event activity type" - however, when it goes onto the next page, Figure 11-20 shows and describes an "OnTaskChanged" activity.

This mix also occurs in the first full paragraph on p.444, where "OnTaskChanged" and "OnTaskCreated" are intermingled in the same paragraph.
