Multidimensional Arrays |
Two kinds of multidimensional arrays are described: rectangular and jagged. This differs from the C# reference, where only the "rectangular" arrays are considered multidimensional.
I marked this as a serious technical mistake because it can be a source of substantial confusion if you then refer to the .NET documentation. For example, the .NET documentation on Array.Copy describes how it handles multidimensional arrays, and Array.CopyTo is said to work only with single dimensional arrays. Here, however, multidimensional means "multidimensional rectangular array", in your vocabulary, and "single dimensional" includes jagged arrays!
I do see that the book's coverage of Array.Copy and Array.CopyTo carefully refers to a "multidimensional rectangular array" (p. 247). So, at least the book internally consistent. Nonetheless, I still think it would be far better to prevent confusion and follow the terminology that Microsoft uses.

The boolian variable "horizontal" would be better labeled "vertical"! Left and Right edges are vertical, not horizontal!

The book uses the term "listener" without defining it earlier in the text, or having a reference in the index. In fact, I think the authors mean "subscriber" anyway.

Example at bottom, continues to page 113 |
The example declares
public delegate void PriceChangedHandler( decimal oldPrice,
decimal newPrice );
but in the class that's supposed to be using this type it doesn't use the same type name:
public class Stock
{
...
public event PriceChanged PriceChanged; <--- error
it should say:
public event PriceChangedHandler PriceChanged;

The sentence:
"...assigning the Purchase.Customer property would automatically add the new customer to the Customer.Purchases entity set..."

"...assigning the Purchase.Customer property would automatically add the new purchase to the Customer.Purchases entity set..."
