The unconfirmed error reports are from readers.  They have not yet been 
approved or disproved by the author or editor and represent solely the
opinion of the reader.

Here's a key to the markup:
        [page-number]: serious technical mistake
        {page-number}: minor technical mistake
        <page-number>: important language/formatting problem
        (page-number): language change or minor formatting problem
        ?page-number?: reader question or request for clarification

UNCONFIRMED  errors and comments from readers: 

(15)  Figure 1-3;
The box labelled "Simple web services" should arguably be "System.Web.Services", in
keeping with the namespace names in the other boxes, and given that "Discovery",
"Protocols" and "Description" are all sub-namespaces of System.Web.Services.


(code)
The file \Samples\chapter2\Echo.cs has an error that causes a compiler error.
Prior to the class definition should be the following statement:

using System;

Without this statement, the use of the Exception class is flagged by the
compiler.


(135)  2nd paragraph;
This paragraph contains the text "of the most interest is verification of what you
wrote earlier".  The words "what you wrote earlier" should be changed to something
along the lines of "what was mentioned previously".


{73}  The "snippet of C#";
C = "A String";

should read:

C = "A string";

in order to be consistent with both figure 3-1 and the textual explanation just below
the snippet.


{142}  Code listing in center of page;
Minor typo in the sample code description about overriding methods from base types 
and interfaces

The code for class Type2 reads:

class Type2 : Type1, Type2 {
void Method3(){}
}

when it should read:
class Type2 : Type1, IFace2 {
void Method3(){}
}

This corresponds to the description in the second paragraph on page 143.


(155)  Figure 5-7;
Figure 5-7 on page 155 appears to be incorrect based on what the accompanying text is
describing.  This figure is an exact duplicate of Figure 5-8 on page 158, which does
appear to be the correct figure based on the subsequent text.  Furthermore, the image
itself appears to have an error, the transformed stack on the right side shows two
identical labels of "int64 b" for the top two elements of the stack, but the top one
should likely be labeled as "int64 c".


[160]  1st paragraph;
This parapgraph references "opportunistic enregistering of top-of-stack that was
already mentioned", and I cannot find any previous paragraph that mentions
"opportunistic enregistering"


(272)  Figure 9-3;
In figure 9-3, the words SEMIPROCESS (identifying the structure used in shared memory for process management) 
should in fact be SHMPROCESS, discussed throughout the page surrounding the Figure.


(311)  CMI structures example;
In the lines that start "BYTE  * pAllocState" and
"BYTE  * protectionState", the comments on these lines should be
reversed and the "#endif //" should be moved to the following line.
The lines would then read:

  BYTE        * pAllocState;      // Per-page allocation type tracking
  BYTE        * pProtectionState; // Per-page protection tracking
#endif // !HAVE_VM_ALLOCATE
