There is no valid answer to this question on the practice test:

"You are implementing a Windows Forms application. A button named button1 should be added to the second column of the second row of a TableLayoutPanel named panel1. You need the button at run time.

Which code segment do you add to your form?"

The answer which we are told is correct is:

panel1.Controls.Add(panel1, 1, 1)

That should be:

panel1.Controls.Add(button1, 2, 1)

Because we are adding the button, not the panel, and rows start at 0 so the second row is 1 but columns start at one so the second column is 2.

Note from the Author or Editor:
Correct. Change as above.

HorizontalScrollBar should be HorizontalScrollBarVisibility in "You also can enable a horizontal scroll bar by setting the HorizontalScrollBar property, but this setting is less useful."

Sample of Visual Basic Code

aName = System.Reflection.AssemblyName.GetAssemblyName("C:\myAssembly.dll"))
Sample of C# Code
System.Reflection.AssemblyName aName;
aName = System.Reflection.AssemblyName.GetAssemblyName("C:\\myAssembly.dll"));

Both of those have an extra closing parenthesis at the end!

Note from the Author or Editor:

In the definition of the property MultColumn, it says "Indicates whther this item shows multiple columns of items or only a single item." I believe that should be "...only a single column."

ToolStripMenuItem newMenuItem1;
ToolStripMenuItem newMenuItem2;
//Adds a new menu item by specifying text

----- newMenuItem1 = (ToolStripMenuItem)MenuStrip1.Items.Add("File");------
Likewise
//Adds a new menu item by specifying an image
***above line must cast MenuStrip1.Items.Add("File") to ToolStripMenuItem**
----- newMenuItem1 = (ToolStripMenuItem)MenuStrip1.Items.Add(anImage);------

At the start of Exercise 3 (In Ch4, Lesson 4), Step 1 instructs you to 'Open the partial solution for this exercise on the companion CD' but there is no such solution included on the disk. Exercise 3 is simply a continuation of exercises 1 and 2.

Note from the Author or Editor:
There should have been a partial solution included on disk, but an alternate solution is to simply continue with the finish of exercise 2.

"The MenuStrip control is the host for ToolStripMenuItem properties, which represent individual menu items." I think these are objects, not properties.

Note from the Author or Editor:
Correct. Change properties to objects.

The following

* Dialog boxes are special forms that are designed to collect information from the user. Dialog boxes can be displayed either modally or modelessly. Modal dialog boxes halt program execution until the dialog box is closed, whereas modeless dialog boxes allow
program execution to continue while they are displayed.

* You can use the ShowDialog method to set the parent form of a dialog box. You can then retrieve information from the parent form by casting a reference to the parent form to the appropriate type.

The argument used in the PropertyChangedEventArgs in the Set Property for the Property Name should not be "LastName" but "Name". The class name is LastName, but the property is Name.

Note from the Author or Editor:
Correct

The code presented should close with <Window>, not </Window.Resources>.

In the description of the example for the HierarchicalDataTemplate XAML code, it states the interface contains a TreeView control, but then says the HierarchicalDataTemplate is applied to the "items displayed in ListView" and the ItemTemplate property is "applied to sub-items in Listview".
