Page 70 The DateTime structure is a value type (not a reference type) and
is passed by value to the Time constructor.
Page 73 Copy Constructors - this discussion should include a discussion
of the ICloneable Interface, defined by the Framework. ICloneable defines
a single method: Clone(). Classes that support cloning should implement
ICloneable, and then should implement either a shallow copy (calling
MemberwiseClone) or a deep copy (by calling the copy constructor or by hand
copying all the members).
class SomeType : ICloneable
{
public Object Clone()
{
return MemberwiseClone(); // shallow copy
}
}
Page 97 Figure 5-3 is a duplicate of 5-2. Instead it should look more like this:

Currently: "Thus, if the fraction is 15/16, the resulting integer value will be 1"
Should be: "Thus, if the fraction is 15/16, the resulting integer value will be 0"

Currently: Console.WriteLine("Loc1 location: {0}", loc);
Should be: Console.WriteLine("In MyFunc. loc: : {0}", loc);

When explaining the code in example 8-6 the theStruct.Status property is sometimes
referred to as theStruct.status which is not a property but a private member of the
myStruct class. This is probably a case typo mistake.
AUTHOR: Correct.
Page 224 The assignment operator does not make a copy of the string, it makes
a copy of the reference. If, however, you modify the string, then the references
are separated.
Page 266 4th paragraph. Please remove the qualifying word static in the description
of which methods the delegate can encapsulate.
Page 277 Ex. 12-2 The example in the book uses static methods which could not impact
an instance of Image. The new source code modifies this example to use instance methods.
Please download source code version 16 or later

Page 390 Second paragraph. Change HelloWeb.cs to HelloWeb.aspx.cs
Page 391 Figure 15-2 should show the current date and time.
Page 429 Currently says that when loading the assembly the resolver will probe the
current directory and its subdirectories. This has changed. The Assembly Loader now
checks the application base, the culture and name of the referenced assembly and
then a private binpath, which is a user-defined list of subdirectories under the root
location. For a sample, see GotDotNet

Currently: // tell thread 1 to abort
Should be: // tell thread 2 to abort
Page 516 - Please modify the Interlocked.Increment example to use a temporary variable,
as shown here:
while (counter < 1000)
{
int temp = Interlocked.Increment(ref counter);
Thread.Sleep(1);
Console.WriteLine("Thread {0}. Incrementer: {1}",
Thread.CurrentThread.Name, temp);
Page 518 Please modify the lock example to display the temporary variable, as shown here:
while (counter < 1000)
{
int temp;
lock (this)
{
temp = counter;
temp++;
Thread.Sleep(1);
counter = temp;
}
Console.WriteLine("Thread {0}. Incrementer: {1}",Thread.CurrentThread.Name, temp);
}
Exercise 21-7 - I've updated the source code to use FileStream to explicitly open
the file in asynch. mode. Please download the updated source code.
Page 574 Example 21-15
In the method DeSerialize, the code closing the FileStream is unreachable (causes a
warning). Please replace with:
public static SumOf DeSerialize()
{
FileStream fileStream =
new FileStream("DoSum.out",FileMode.Open);
BinaryFormatter binaryFormatter =
new BinaryFormatter();
SumOf retVal = (SumOf) binaryFormatter.Deserialize(fileStream);
fileStream.Close();
return retVal;
}

Figure 22-5 is incorrect, it's the same one as 22-4.
