page 193, last annotation, last sentence states "And when it queries the BagsOfFeed field it runs the get accessor, which returns 300." Is this referring to an unmentioned BagsOfFeed property? Also, we just changed NumberOfCows to 20, which sets numberOfCows to 20. According to the bottom of page 192, BagsOfFeed = numberOfCows * FeedMultiplier, and FeedMultiplier is a constant equal to 30. Therefore, BagsOfFeed should be 600. I would change the last sentence to "The set accessor causes a recalculation of BagsOfFeed so that myFarmer.BagsOfFeed now equals 600."

Every time you build your program, the IDE puts a fresh copy of the database in the bin folder. This will overwrite any data you added when you ran the program. When you debug your program, the IDE rebuilds it if the code has changed -- which means that your database will sometimes get overwritten when you run your program in the IDE. If you run the program directly from the bin/debug or bin/release folder, or if use the installer to install it on your machine, then you won't see this problem. |
