Preface / Conventions Used in This Book |
In the Preface, under "Conventions Used in This Book" there is an example using Debug.Assert. I believe that there should be a double equals in the assert:
Debug.Assert( number ==3 ); // Book has single equals.
P.s. I apologise as I am not sure on the book format (I bought it from Amazon for the Kindle) and also, with the Kindle reader application I cannot see page numbers, so I do not know the exact page number.

2nd paragraph |
The last sentence in the second paragraph of the Preface is missing a period at the end of the sentence.
The sentence reads: "WCF was released in November 2006 as part of .NET 3.0"
The sentence should read: "WCF was released in November 2006 as part of .NET 3.0."

Figure 1-4 |
There is a diagram (Figure 1-4) for choosing host based on Internet, autostart and IIS version. There should be [yes] and [no] options based on IIS version 7 (or later) to tell if you use WAS or other hosting.
In case the Internet [yes] and autostart [yes] it recommends Self hosted, but that is not what the text is saying.
The figure is confusing, incomplete and not matching the text recommendations, it should be fixed.

Example 1-23 The InProcFacrtory class - Get Address method |
There appears to be a mismatch in the variable name:
Tuple<ServiceHost, EndPointAddress> record ;
...
hostRecord = m_Hosts[typeof(S)];
...
record = new Tuple<ServiceHost, EndpointAddress(...) ;
...
return hostRecord;
My understanding is that the intention is that record and hostRecord are meant to be one and the same variable.

2nd paragraph (starting with "This naïve use of the Dog contract...") |
4th sentence:
"Similarly, IDog is also poorly factored as it has members required only by IPet."
should be
"Similarly, Dog is also poorly factored as it has members required only by IPet."
IDog is the service contract that had just been segregated from the new IPet service contract. At this point in the text, both use a Dog data contract which has members pertaining to both service contracts.

Just under example 6-2 |
The text states "Instead of FaultException<DivideByZeroException>, the service could also have thrown a non-Exception-derived class... However, I find that using an Exception-derived detailing type is more in line with conventional .NET programming..."
I think a bit of clarification is needed here. I tried creating my own exception class (derived from Exception) and tried throwing an instance of it:
MyException E = new MyException() ;
throw new FaultException<MyException> (E) ;
However on the client side I cannot catch this as a FaultException<MyException>, but as a CommunicationException. The strange thing is that as soon as I make my MyException class not to be derived from Exception ( class MyException {...}), on the client side I can catch the exception as a FaultException<MyException>.
Is it possible to use user defined Exception derived classes with FaultException<T> and if so, how?

1st full paragraph |
The last sentence of the first full paragraph is a fragment (dependent clause with no independent clause).
"From command line PowerShell scripts for automation to programmatic control through fully capable REST and C# APIs to automated operations via the Azure Management Portal or Visual Studio."
Perhaps this was meant to be part of the previous sentence?

Full paragraph |
The last sentence of the only full paragraph uses the word "you" instead of "your".
Currently reads:
"As shown in Example 11-1, the application manifest file can import a service manifest by referencing its package name, and you can provide application-specific deployment configuration for you service by referencing its type."
Should read:
"As shown in Example 11-1, the application manifest file can import a service manifest by referencing its package name, and you can provide application-specific deployment configuration for your service by referencing its type."
