The formal syntax for the declaration of a symbolic constant is given as:
Const value as type = identifier
I believe it should read:
Const identifier as type = value

1st Paragraph |
On Pg. 156, the first sentence stated that:
"Alternatively, you can create an instance of the interface, and then use that
interface to access the methods of that interface..."
I believe the phrase in the above sentence:
"...you can create an instance of the interace..."
is not consistent with what you have said on the first paragraph of Pg. 152:
"...Keep in mind that you cannot create an instance of an interface; instead you
instantiate a class that implements the interface."
Subsequent paragraphs on Page 156 repeatedly refered to "an instance of the
interface" . I understand what you tried to explain, but we cannot create an instance
of any interface. Reference variable of specific interface type would be more
appropriate.
I also believe that statement on Page 152 is correct and statement on Page 156 is not
technically correct because we cannot create an instance of an interface(in Java/C#
or VB.NET).

Last paragraph |
The code snipet in the last paragraph:
If TypeOf doc Is ICompressible Then
Dim icDoc As ICompressible = CType(doc, ICompressible)
icDoc.Compress()
Else
...
Noted that assignment statement:
Dim icDoc As ICompressible = CType(doc, ICompressible)
This is not consistent with code statement in Example 8-3:
Dim icDoc As ICompressible = doc

2nd paragraph of the Section Declaring Arrays |
The statement:
Dim myIntArray As Integer = new Integer(6)
is missing {} at the end, and should be replaced with:
Dim myIntArray As Integer = new Integer(6) {}

2nd code example |
In the second code example on the page, the comment indicates that the arrays being
initialized will have 6 members. In fact, they will have 7 members. The erroneous
figure of "six" is also used in the following paragraph.

Last paragraph |
The second sentence:
"...Note, however, that to reverse or sort...., they must be of a type that
implements the IComparable interface, described in Chapter 8."
I believe the IComparable interface has not yet been discussed in Chapter 8. It will
be discuss in Chapter 10
Page 230, Two minor changes here.
First, in Unicode and in ASCII, lower case letters have larger values than uppercase.
Second, when comparing two strings, the specification is that the comparison will yield a positive or negative value or zero, not specifically -1 or 1.

Example 10-3 on Page 231, Example 10-4 on Page 232, and Example 10-5 on Page 233

Dim s1 As String = "abcd"
Which were never be used in these above examples.

In Public Sub Run |
Dim id As Integer = 1 produces the following output:
2: One
3: Two
4: Three
5: Liberty
6: Associates
7: Inc.
To match the expected output in the book,
1: One
2: Two
3: Three
4: Liberty
5: Associates
6: Inc.
id should be initialized to 0 rather than 1.
So change to:
Dim id As Integer = 0

The paragraph following the code snippet
<Serializable()> _
Public Class Point
contains the sentence "The details of serialization are covered in Chapter 20."
That should be removed, since that never made it into the book.
