Errata for Microsoft® ASP.NET 2.0 Step By Step

Clarification on virtual directory name After installing the Code Samples as described on pages xxv and xxvi, a virtual directory is created in IIS named aspnet2sbs which contains the sample code. The last line on on Page 2 and Step 3 on Page 3 both refer to a virtual directory named ASPNETStepByStep. In those instances and where ever else in the content a virtual directory containing the code samples is referred to, replace ASPNETStepByStep with aspnet2sbs.

Wrong location for helloworld.htm file referenced On page 3, step 3 reads: "After the TELNET client connects, type the following GET command (assuming you have a virtual directory named aspnet2sbs on you machine, containing a file named HelloWorld.HTM): C:/> GET //aspnet2sbs/helloworld.htm" It should read: "After the TELNET client connects, type the following GET command (assuming you have a virtual directory named aspnet2sbs on you machine, containing a file named HelloWorld.HTM in the /CS/Chapter02/content subdirectory): C:/> GET //aspnet2sbs/CS/Chapter02/content/helloworld.htm"
