Printed | Page 15 Last paragraph, seventh sentence |
I have Learning ASP.NET 3.5 2nd Edition. One of the sentences on page #15 reads "You can also play with the border of the label, too." The word "too" is redundant with "also." I recommend removing "too" from the sentence. |

The sample C# (and VB for that matter) code I downloaded for example 2-1 does not work like the book implies. I had to add the if-else logic to the code to get the desired behavior. When I attempted to use the downloaded code it complained about the fact that those button's don't exist on the page. I ended up with: |

Printed | Page 29 Second paragraph, second sentence |
I purchased Learning ASP.NET 3.5 2nd Edition. On page 29, in the second paragraph, the book lists "Open the code behind file, navigate to the Page_Load method, and then click in the left margin next to the line with the lblPageLoad.Text instruction." In that sentence, "lblPageLoad.Text" should be replaced with "lblPostBackPageLoad.Text." |

Printed | Page 63 Eighth paragraph |
I purchased Learning ASP.NET 3.5 2nd Edition. On page 63, by the eighth bullet point, the phrase "The TextBox control is a relatively simply" appears. The word "simply" should be replaced with "simple." |

Printed | Page 85 Figure 3-8's explanation |
I purchased Learning ASP.NET 3.5 2nd Edition. On page 85, for Figure 3-8, the following explanation appears: "When the user types in the TextBox, the watermarked style is applied, which shows an obvious change from the watermarked style." Something needs to change in the sentence, such as inserting the words "no longer" before the word "applied." |

Printed | Page 86 Second paragraph |
I purchased Learning ASP.NET 3.5, 2nd Edition. On page 86, in the second paragraph, the book lists "Click on the Customer Name TextBox in Design view to bring up the smart tag, . . . ." No smart tag displays when I click on any TextBox. Note that I'm using Visual Web Developer 2008 with SP1. I could NOT successfully complete the example using the TextBoxWaterMarkExtender--not even by typing in the code displayed in Example 3-5. Is there some way I can get help completing the example? |

Printed | Page 351 Quiz question #6. |
This confused me at least and doesn't seem to be correct...the question pertains to how many views the LoginStatus control has. The answer (page 562) indicates 2 (which is correct) but describes them as one for "anonymous users" and one for "logged-in users". The 2 views for LoginStatus, according to the Smart Tab, are "Logged In" and "Logged Out". It's the LoginView control which has views of "anonymous (template)" and "logged in (template)". The answer would seem more correct for the LoginView instead of LoginStatus. |
