| Chapter | Page | Details | Date | Print Run |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| xxvxii | Text Error "to understand and didn't make many programming tasks easy" should be "to understand and made many programming tasks easy" |
10/7/04 | ||
| xxvxiii | Text Error "... , Jave is not designed to work with the .NET environment." should be "... , Java was not designed to work with the .NET environment." |
10/7/04 | ||
| 5 | Text Error "The pervious example qualifies as..." Should be: "The previous example qualifies as..." |
6/8/05 | ||
| 8 | Text Error "In no way with COM did component written ..." should be "In no way did COM component written ..." |
10/7/04 | ||
| 17 | Text Error "(indeed dynamic assemblies are stored in memory, not on file at all)." should be "(indeed dynamic assemblies are stored in memory, not in files at all)." |
10/7/04 | ||
| 21 | Text Error "sometimes make development difficult" should be "sometimes makes development difficult" |
10/7/04 | ||
| 27 | Figure Error In the figure, there is a missing line connecting the left "ASSEMBLY containing IL CODE" to the vertical line below "ASSEMBLY containing IL CODE" - but before the horizontal line connecting to the box ".NET base classes" -- since C# can also use these base classes. The line connecting the left "ASSEMBLY containing IL CODE" to the "CLR ORGANIZES" box should have been higher. |
10/7/04 | ||
| 27 | Text Error "Garbage collector cleans up sources" should be "Garbage collector simplifies sources" since it can automatically clean out unused items. |
10/7/04 | ||
| 32 | Spelling/grammar The line starts "Next, we declare a class ostensibly called MyFirstClass" The class name is MyFirstCSharpClass, which is what is used in the previous page and lines following this line containing the error. |
11/29/04 | ||
| 33 | 2nd paragraph This refers to sentence 3: "In our case, we have have two modifiers: public and static." Nowhere in the code blocks in the previous two pages has the 'public' access modifier been used. A person new to C# and without much of a programming background might get confused. Worse a C++ programmer would expect the access modifier for this method to be 'private' which is the default in C++ for methods and data. The access modifier should be 'public' for methods by default in Java. |

| 37 | Error in code in text Location: Scope clashes for fields and local variables Description:
using System;
namespace Wrox.ProCSharp.Basics
{
class ScopeTest2
{
static int j = 20;
public static void Main()
{
int j = 30;
Console.WriteLine(j);
return;
}
}
}

| 47 | Text Error The syntax for the "if (condition) statement(s) else statement(s)" is wrong, it can only be "if (condition) statement | block else statement | block" since it can only be a single statement or a block of statement, which is the same as a single statement. This is clearly stated in the text below the shaded example. |
10/7/04 | ||
| 48 | 1st code sample, Last else if block, "Newline in constant" error The bad code is in the last else if block. There are two possible fixes: 1) The quoted string needs to be preceded by the @ symbol to allow it to span two lines, or 2) the top string needs to be properly terminated with double quotes and the string fragment remaining on the second line should be precedeeded by quotes so it can be properly concatenated to the first string with a plus (+) sign. |
10/26/04 | ||
| 49 | Error in example In the 2nd shaded example, it should be "integerA ==1" rather than "integerA =1" -- as it reinforces the earlier example in the text just above "The switch statement". |
10/7/04 | ||
| 51 | Text Error The syntax is wrong, it can only be one statement as the body of the for loop. |
10/7/04 | ||
| 51 | Text Error "The condition is the expression that is checked before each new iteration of the loop" should be "The condition is the expression that is checked before each iteration of the loop" |
10/7/04 | ||
| 51 | Text Error "and walk through the process again" should be "and repeat the process again" |
10/7/04 | ||
| 52 | Text Error "which does the same as Console.WriteLine()" should be "which is similar to Console.WriteLine()" |
10/7/04 | ||
| 53 | Text Error The syntax is wrong, it can only be a single statement in the body of the while loop. |
10/7/04 | ||
| 55 | Text Error "since C#'s switch is so strict on fall-through." should be "since C#'s switch strictly prohibits fall-through." |
10/7/04 | ||
| 56 | Text Error "TimeOfDay.Morning will return the value 0" should be "TimeOfDay.Morning is the value 0" -- as there is no evaluation! (it is simply a compile time constant) |
10/7/04 | ||
| 60 | Text Error "... C# has no equivalent to C++ header files." is false, since you can (and should) use classes to do the equivalent (via "using"). |
10/7/04 | ||
| 62 | Text Error "However, when the program is invoked, we can get the CLR to pass any command line arguments to the program by including a parameter." should be "However, when the program is invoked, CLR passes any command line arguments to the program as a parameter." |
10/7/04 | ||
| 76 | Text Error Text points out that it is a convention to prefix names of members fields with an underscore but the highlighted example has no underscore. |
9/24/04 | ||
| 76 | Private, Not Public Test says "For names of all private member fields in types:" But in the two following examples uses "public" instead of "private" They should read "private" |
4/5/05 | ||
| 77 | Typo fifth line on this page: The pervious example should say: The previous example |
11/19/2006 | ||
| 86 | Text Error "Operators are at their simplest are actions like" should be "Operators at their simplest are actions like" |
10/7/04 | ||
| 92 | Text Error "wrong overload is called." should be "wrong overload method is called." |
10/7/04 | ||
| 97 | Text Error "which constructor gets executed when." should be "which constructor is executed." |
10/7/04 | ||
| 97 | Text Error "by Microsoft as part of the framework class library," should be "by Microsoft as part of the .NET framework class library," |
10/7/04 | ||
| 98 | Text Error There is a missing space after "Darwing.Color." and the start of the next sentence "DateTime implements ...". |
10/7/04 | ||
| 98-99 | Error in code in text The code reads:
public Car(string model, uint nWheels)
{
this.description = description;
this.nWheels = nWheels;
}
It should read:
public Car(string description, uint nWheels)
{
this.description = description;
this.nWheels = nWheels;
}
- OR -
public Car(string model, uint nWheels)
{
this.model = model;
this.nWheels = nWheels;
}

10/20/04 | ||
| 100 | Text Error "they are read-only, it cannot be assigned to outside the contructors" should be "they are read-only, the value cannot be assigned to outside the contructors" |
10/7/04 | ||
| 101 | Text Error "of bringing in the heap with all the performance implications" should be "of allocating in the heap with all the performance implications" |
10/7/04 | ||
| 107 | Text Correction for page 107, 2nd paragraph The correct code for the Money and BetterMoney classes:
class Money
{
private decimal amount;
public decimal Amount
{
get
{
return amount;
}
set
{
amount = value;
}
}
}
class BetterMoney : Money
{
public override string ToString()
{
return "$" + Amount.ToString();
}
}
And this is the correct code for the Main method:
Money cash1 = new Money();
cash1.Amount = 40M;
Console.WriteLine("cash1.ToString() returns: " + cash1.ToString());
cash1 = new BetterMoney();
cash1.Amount = 40M;
Console.WriteLine("cash1.ToString() returns: " + cash1.ToString());
Running this code provides the following output to the console window:
cash1.ToString() returns: Wrox.ProCSharp.OOCSharp.Money
cash1.ToString() returns: $40

10/7/04 | ||
| 183 | Text Error "and the EventArgs class has been created." should be "and the ActionCancelEventArgs class has been created." |
10/7/04 | ||

10/7/04 | ||

10/7/04 | ||
| 218 | Missing quotations in code The line of code char char4 = message[4]; on page 218 should be replaced with char char4 = "message"[4]; |

A tool window will not appear in the taskbar, regardless of how ShowInTaskBar is set. Also a Tool window will not show in the list of windows when the user presses Alt-Tab. The default setting is Sizeable." should be changed to: "Most of these are self-explanatory with the exception of the two tool window borders. A Tool window will not show in the list of windows when the user presses Alt-Tab. The default setting is Sizeable." The second sentence is wrong and will have to be removed. |
1/05/06 | ||
| 898 | Error in Code The code at the bottom starts the function as: protected void calendar_DayRender(obje... Although in the downloaded source code it is: private void calendar_DayRender(obje... "protected" should be the right one, not "private". |
7/6/05 | ||
| 901 | Missing Line The code examples at the bottom are missing the following line: protected System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataGrid eventDetails1; Which should go under: public class WebForm1 : System.Web.UI.Page This is correct in the downloadable source code. |
7/6/05 | ||
| 924 | Error in 2nd AddEvent Parameter (roomList.SelectedItem.Value) Easiest thing to do is to change the client as follows:
int queryResult = dataService.AddEvent(eventBox.Text, roomList.SelectedItem.Value.ToString(), attendees,dateString);
And the web service as follows (remove two 's):
String oleDbCommand = "INSERT INTO Events (Name, Room, AttendeeList, EventDate) VALUES ('" + eventName + "', " + eventRoom + ", '" + eventAttendees + "', '" + eventDate + "')";
Even better is to do it the way it's done in the new version, starting with:
String oleDbCommand = "INSERT INTO Events (Name, Room, AttendeeList, EventDate) VALUES (@Name, @Room, @AttendeeList, @EventDate)";
Then add parameters to the command - this has the added bonus of preventing SQL insertion attacks.
