Note from the Author or Editor:
In the code on page 15, the following statement should appear at the top (above the using System.Collections.Generic; statement):

using System;

"the ChangeStockLevel method sets the Quantity property to the value of the newStockLevel parameter" - the code

"productInventory.Quantity += newStockLevel;"

should be adding "newStockLevel" to the quantity property instead of setting quantity as "newStockLevel".

Note from the Author or Editor:
On page 24, the third sentence in the paragraph below the code fragment at the top of the page should read:

"If a matching ProductInventory object is found, the ChangeStockLevel method increases the Quantity property by the value of the newStockLevel parameter, saves the changes back to the database, and returns true to indicate that the update was successful."

Closing tag: " </servicaActivations>"

The ProductsClient project should be added to the ProductsServiceLibrary solution instead of the ProductsServiceHost project.

Note from the Author or Editor:
Step 1 at the bottom of page 70 should read:

Add the ProductsClient project located in the Microsoft Press\WCF Step By Step\Chapter 2\ProductsClient\ProductsClient folder to the ProductsServiceLibrary solution.

Step 18 asks the user to "change the value of the httpGetEnabled attribute or the <serviceMetadata> element to false." This should be " change the value of the httpGetEnabled attribute of the <serviceMetadata> element to false."

In step 2 it references the 'ProductService' namespace, In the sample code the namespace is 'Product'.

Note from the Author or Editor:
This is really just a typo resulting from a late-breaking change to the code that was not reflected in the book. The namespace should be "Products", and instruction in step 2 and the code should both refer to "Products" rather than "ProductsService".

In the "Note" at the end of the page. There is a sentence like this - "However, although the output.config file specifies the correct type
name for the contract attribute of the endpoint, it does include the address of the service, so you would have had to edit the file and add this information." It should be this - "However, although the output.config file specifies the correct type name for the contract attribute of the endpoint, it does NOT include the address of the service, so you would have had to edit the file and add this information."

Note from the Author or Editor:
In the note at the bottom of the page, the 2nd sentence should read:

However, although the output.config file specifies the correct type
name for the contract attribute of the endpoint, it does not include the address of the service, so you would have had to edit the file and add this information.

The instruction at step 7: "Edit the ProductsService.cs file in the ProductsServiceHost project" should read "Edit the ProductsService.cs file in the ProductsServiceLibrary project".

Note from the Author or Editor:
The reader is correct. The first sentence in step 7 on page 109 should read:

Edit the ProductsService.cs file in the ProductsServiceLibrary project.

The second sentence reads as follows:
In the Save Log As dialog box, move to the Micorsoft Press\WCF Step By Step\Chapter 4 folder within your Documents folder.

"This security context information includes the identity of the user requesting the operation, ..."

Text reads as follows:

Text should read as either of the following:
Explain which changes to a service require that client applications be updated.

13. Implement the AddItemToCart method in the ShoppingCartServiceImpl class, as shown in
bold in the following:

Implement the AddItemToCart method in the ShoppingCartServiceImpl class, as shown in bold in the following:

"to return port"

should be

"to reserve port"

Note from the Author or Editor:
On page 90, step 12 should read:

"Open a Visual Studio Command Prompt window as an administrator and enter the following command to reserve port 9000 for your service (replace UserName with your WIndows user name):"

public class ShoppingCartService : IShoppingCartService

should be

public class ShoppingCartServiceImpl : IShoppingCartService

Note from the Author or Editor:
The code for step 2 on page 260 should read:

[ServiceBehavior(InstanceContextMode = InstanceContextMode.PerCall)]
public class ShoppingCartServiceImpl : IShoppingCartService
{
...
}

The same error as reported on page 665 of the printed version:
The 'Integrated Security' keyword is written as two words.

Note from the Author or Editor:
The reader is correct. In the configuration string on the 2nd line of the page, the word "IntegratedSecurity" should be "Integrated Security" (with a space).

Typo in connection string:
In the book: "DataSource" (no space) should be "Data Source" (with the space)

Note from the Author or Editor:
The reader is correct. In the rather lengthy higlighted line of code, the text "DataSource" should be "Data Source"

The value for 'Result' should be 'result' (all lowercase) and not 'Result' with a capital R.

Note from the Author or Editor:
In the table in step 20 on page 342, the entry in the Property column of the second row should be "Result". The entry in the Value column of the second row should be "result".

At the top of the page there is an image with text "Synchronous sleep completed" but the text must be "Asynchronous sleep completed" because this image is related to the return value 9999999 (obtained from the asynchronous call).

Note from the Author or Editor:
The reader is correct. The image at the top of page 454 is of the wrong message box. The correct image should display the message "Asynchronous sleep completed".

At the step 1 of "Test the ProductsService Service and Client Application" section, the address "http://localhost/DiscoverableService" should be "http://localhost/DiscoverableProductsService".

Note from the Author or Editor:
The reader is correct. The 2nd sentence in step 1 near the bottom of page 505 should be:

Publish the updated Web site to the location http://localhost/DiscoverableProductsService, as before.

At the step 1 of "Test the Discovery Proxy" section, the address "http://localhost/DiscoverableService" should be "http://localhost/DiscoverableProductsService".
The same typo is on the page 505.
Or maybe the initial typo is on the page 498 where the service name is "DiscoverableProductsService"?
This is not a big mistake anyway, but if there will be second edition of this book, the consistency in service names across single chapter is good.

Note from the Author or Editor:
The text for Step 1 near the middle of page 521 should read:

In Solution Explorer, right-click the C:\...\ProductsService\ project, and then click Publish Web Site. Publish the Web site to the location http://localhost/DiscoverableProductsService, and allow Visual Studio to overwrite the existing files deployed previously.

The book states "Type the following command to add a new HTTPS reservation for port 8000..." It should state port 8040.
