MORE INFORMATION
================
Page 11: Missing As
-------------------
On page 11, under "Using Value Type and Reference Type Variables",
change:
"Dim x, y Integer"
to:
"Dim x, y As Integer"
Page 11: Incorrect Statement About Variable Default Initialization in C#
------------------------------------------------------------------------
On page 11, in the paragraph above "Using Value Type and Reference Type
Variables", please remove:
"In C#, variables are not given default initialization. Any attempt to use an
uninitialized variable, whether at a class level or a method level, will result
in an error."
Page 11: Incorrect Statement About Default Initialization
---------------------------------------------------------
On page 11, the final paragraph of the section "Reference Types" incorrectly
states that in C# variables are not given default initialization. In fact,
variables of a reference type have a default value of null.
Change:
"In C#, variables are not given default initialization. Any attempt to use an
uninitialized variable, whether at a class level or a method level, will result
in an error."
To:
"In C#, variables of a reference type have a default value of null. It is
generally not recommended that you rely on the default value, and these
variables should not be used uninitialized."
Page 13: Incorrect Information About Aliasing in Visual Basic.NET
-----------------------------------------------------------------
On page 13, remove the line above "Referencing External Libraries":
"Aliasing is not available in Visual Basic.NET."
Page 31: Object1 Should Be Object2
----------------------------------
On page 31, in the last line,
Change:
"Object1.MyField = 20"
To:
"Object2.MyField = 20"
Page 59: Deactivated Should Be Deactivate
-----------------------------------------
On page 59, in the "Activated/Deactivated" section, the form event "Deactivate"
is incorrectly referred as "Deactivated". All instances of "Deactivated" should
be changed to "Deactivate" in this section.
Page 60: CancelEventArgsCancel Should Be CancelEventArgs.Cancel
---------------------------------------------------------------
On page 60, under "Visual C#",
Change:
"CancelEventArgsCancel = true;"
To:
"CancelEventArgs.Cancel = true;"
Page 64: Tab Index Should Be Tab Order
--------------------------------------
On page 64, in the second step 1,
Change:
"1. From the View menu, choose Tab Index."
To:
"1. From the View menu, choose Tab Order."
Page 96: Libby Should Be Joe
----------------------------
On page 96, in Table 2.2,
Change:
"Libby's Doughnut Factory"
To:
"Joe's Doughnut Factory"
Pages 104 And 505: Shortcut Should Be Context
