3rd paragraph, last sentence

The sentence states: "For more on DataContext, see Recipe 1.6". Since this IS recipe 1.6, the pointer is obviously incorrect. I was unable to find what recipe it should be, so the sentence should probably be deleted.

Last paragraph, 2nd to last line

Surrogate character is listed as value greater than 64K. I don't think that's correct. 64K is the
maximum unicode. Table 2-3 on page 39 has the correct values.

Code examples

The variable 'int count' appears not to be used for any purpose in method FindAll().

First code sample under "Solution"

The lines:

int actualInt = Int32.Parse(longString); // longString = 7654321

NumberStyles.AllowLeadingSign); // dblString = "-7654.321"

should probably look like this for clarity:

int actualInt = Int32.Parse(longString); // actualInt = 7654321

NumberStyles.AllowLeadingSign); // actualDbl = -7654.321

Example 5-2

In the method
BinarySearchCountALL(T searchValue)
the line
while (left < 0 && this[left - 1].Equals(searchValue))
should yield:
while (left > 0 && this[left - 1].Equals(searchValue))

i.e. it needs to be "greater than" instead of "less than"

Sentence just before the "Discussion" heading

it says, "records the occurrence of a divide-by-zero exception". This should instead be an overflow
exception, based on the sample code.

below "Solution" bold heading


It says "Construct a System.Net.Uri" object, but it should say "Construct a System.Uri" object.

The code later on works because the header is

Using System
Using System.Net

So, when a Uri is declared, it can find the reference in "System"

upload file example

The "upload a file" example in the middle of page 620 never calls client.UploadFile().

At the top of Example 18 - 3 Inside the method public void CallbackAsyncDelegate( )

The line that reads:

AsyncInvoke method1 = TestAsyncInvoke.Method1;

This seems to say the return type of Method1 is AsyncInvoke.

But the return type of Method1 is int:

public static int Method1( )
{
...method body
}

I get a compile time error as follows:

Error CS0029 Cannot implicitly convert type 'double' to 'FolderMonitor.AsyncInvoke' FolderMonitor C:\TomKnowlton_FolderMonitor\FolderMonitor\FolderMonitor\FolderInfoClass.cs 89 Active

Not sure how to resolve.

FahrenheitToCelsius method

The first two code methods on this page are CelsiusToFahrenheit() and FahrenheitToCelsius().

The first method is correct and it multiplies by 1.8.
The second method is incorrect. It should either multiply by (5/9) which is less than 1.8 or divide by 1.8.
