Errata

Microsoft Press reported the following regarding what is printed on p. 477:

----------------------------------------------------------------
Figure 6-4 is incorrect and should be disregarded
On page 477, Figure 6-4 is a copy of Figure 4-4 on page 241 and should be disregarded.
----------------------------------------------------------------

The issue is also in the .PDF (e-book).

In addition to what Microsoft Press reported, the 2nd sentence of Step 14 should also be removed, viz.:

"The completed Web page is shown in Figure 6-4."

Replace "Web.conifg" with "Web.config" in the following sentence:

"5. If you have subdirectories in your Web application, the subdirectories can have a Web.conifg file that includes settings that are specific to the files and folders that are contained within this folder."

Replace "Web.conifg" with "Web.config" in the following sentence:

"5. If you have subdirectories in your Web application, the subdirectories can have a Web.conifg file that includes settings that are specific to the files and folders that are contained within this folder."

Please replace "LocalRequestsOnly" with "LocalOnly" in the 2nd sentence in the Description for the "Display trace output for":

"When set to LocalRequestsOnly, the trace facility only operates with request sand PostBacks from the computer that the Web server is running on."

The resultant sentence reads as follows:


"When set to LocalOnly, the trace facility only operates with request sand PostBacks from the computer that the Web server is running on."

I recommend removing the word "and" from the 3rd bullet point in the "Making the Decision: HTML or Web Server Controls?" section

"The Web page has lots of client-side JavaScript and that is referencing the control."

The resultant text reads as follows:

"The Web page has lots of client-side JavaScript that is referencing the control."

I recommend replacing the word "where" with "whereas" in the 2nd-to-last sentence on the page.

"DataTime" needs to be replaced with "DateTime" (switched the 4th letter from "a" to "e") in the 1st sentence of the description for the SelectedDates Calendar property:

"A collection of DataTime values that represent all of the dates that were selected by the user."

The corrected sentence reads as follows:

"A collection of DateTime values that represent all of the dates that were selected by the user."

In the 4th sentence in the 1st paragraph of the "Introducing Data-Bound Controls" section, please replace "FormsView" with "FormView" in the following sentence:

"Composite data-bound controls are classes that inherit from Composite-DataBoundControl, such as the GridView, DetailsView, and FormsView controls."

The correct sentence reads as follows:

"Composite data-bound controls are classes that inherit from Composite-DataBoundControl, such as the GridView, DetailsView, and FormView controls."

Microsoft Press had reported the following (in the "Confirmed Errata" web page for this book):

UpperAlpha used in place of UpperRoman
On page 173, the first sentence of the last paragraph reads: "If the BulletList control is set to render numbers, you can set the BulletStyle to LowerAlpha, UpperAlpha, LowerRoman, and UpperAlpha fields." It should read: "If the BulletList control is set to render numbers, you can set the BulletStyle to LowerAlpha, UpperAlpha, LowerRoman, and UpperRoman fields."

In addition to the above error, "BulletList" needs to be replaced with "BulletedList"; after making this correction as well as the above correction, the resultant(ly correct) sentence will read as follows:

"If the BulletedList control is set to render numbers, you can set the BulletStyle to LowerAlpha, UpperAlpha, LowerRoman, and UpperRoman fields."

In the 1st sentence in the 1st full paragraph, please replace "FormsView" with "FormView" in the following sentence:

"The classes that inherit from CompositeDataBoundControl are FormsView, DetailsView, and GridView, as shown in Figure 3-38."

The correct sentence reads as follows:

"The classes that inherit from CompositeDataBoundControl are FormView, DetailsView, and GridView, as shown in Figure 3-38."

"upper-left" must be replaced with "upper-right"

On page 216, the first sentence in Step 7 uses an incorrect side to display the ObjectDataSource Tasks window.

Replace:

"7. Click the symbol in the upper-left corner of the ObjectDataSource2 control to display the ObjectDataSource Tasks window."

with:

"7. Click the symbol in the upper-right corner of the ObjectDataSource2 control to display the ObjectDataSource Tasks window."

Replace "Choose Business Object" with "Choose a Business Object"

In Step 5 in "Exercise 2: Add and Configure the Controls", replace:

"5. In the Choose Business Object screen, select the CustomerList, and click Next."

with:

"5. In the Choose a Business Object screen, select the CustomerList, and click Next."

Replace "Choose Business Object" with "Choose a Business Object"

In Step 8 in "Exercise 2: Add and Configure the Controls", replace:

"8. In the Choose Business Object screen, select the CustomerList, and click Next."

with:

"8. In the Choose a Business Object screen, select the CustomerList, and click Next."

Please replace Step 9:

"9.
In the Define Data Methods screen, choose the SelectSingle method for the Select tab. When prompted for the select parameter, set the Parameter Source to Control, the Control ID to GridView1, and set a Default Value of -1. On the Update tab, select the Update method. On the Insert tab, select the Insert method, and on the Delete tab, select the Delete method. Click Finish."

with:

"9.
In the Define Data Methods screen, choose the SelectSingle method for the Select tab. On the Update tab, select the Update method. On the Insert tab, select the Insert method, and on the Delete tab, select the Delete method. Click Next. In the Define Parameters screen, set the Parameter Source to Control, the Control ID to GridView1, and set a Default Value of -1. Click Finish."

In Step 15 of "Exercise 2: Add and Configure the Controls":

"15.
Right-click the GridView and click AutoFormat. Select the Professional format and click OK."

please insert the text " (scheme)" after "format".

The resultant step reads as follows:

"15.
Right-click the GridView and click AutoFormat. Select the Professional format (scheme)" and click OK."

The 3rd line in the 3rd block of VB.NET code on page 231 reads as follows:

salary.DefaultValue = 0.0

Since salary was defined as Decimal (on the line just above the above line), then a 'D' should be appended to the above line. The corrected line reads as follows:

salary.DefaultValue = 0.0D

The 2nd sentence in the "Deserializing a DataSet from XML" section reads as follows:

"You can use the following code to read the schema file and the load the XML file:"

"and the load" in the above sentence needs to be replaced with "and then load".

The resultant sentence reads as follows:

"You can use the following code to read the schema file and then load the XML file:"

Please replace "provider specific" with "provider-specific" in the following sentence:

"All provider specific exceptions inherit from a common base class called DbException."

The resultant sentence reads as follows:

"All provider-specific exceptions inherit from a common base class called DbException."

In the "JavaScript Client-Side Validation" section at the bottom of p. 469, please replace "arguements" with "arguments":

a) in the following line:

function ValidatePassword(source, arguements)

b) and in the following line:

var data = arguements.Value.split('');

The resultant lines would read as follows:

function ValidatePassword(source, arguments)

and:

var data = arguments.Value.split('');

In the code section on p. 470, please replace "arguements" with "arguments":

a) in the following line:

arguements.IsValid=false;

b) and in the following line:

arguements.IsValid=true;

The resultant lines would read as follows:

arguments.IsValid=false;

and:

arguments.IsValid=true;

In Figure 6-3 (in Step 6), to make the text consistent with the instructions in Step 3, please remove the colon (":") from each of the following descriptions:

User Name:

Password:

Confirm Password:

Zip Code:

The resulstant descriptions read as follows:


User Name

Password

Confirm Password

Zip Code

Please replace "xx-large" with "XX-Large" in the 2nd sentence in Step 4 (in Exercise 1) on p. 490:

Set the font size for the title to xx-large and center the title text.

The resultant sentence reads as follows:

Set the font size for the title to XX-Large and center the title text.

Please replace the more verbose:

' Encode the cookie in case the cookie contains client-side script

with the more compact:

' Encode the cookie in case it contains client-side script

Please replace the more verbose:

// Encode the cookie in case the cookie contains client-side script

with the more compact:

// Encode the cookie in case it contains client-side script

I'm thinking it would be more accurate to replace the following text:

"A content page defines the ContentPlaceHolder controls in a master page, essentially filling in the blanks. A content page is a standard .aspx file and is bound to the master page using the MasterPageFile attribute in the ?@ Page? directive."

with something like:

"A content page defines the Content controls which get inserted into a master page, essentially filling in the blanks. A content page is a standard .aspx file and is bound to the master page using the MasterPageFile attribute in the ?@ Page? directive."

[Review the differences between the 1st sentence in each ...]

"method" needs to be replaced with "methods" in the following text:

"C. Correct: Content pages can reference public method in the master page."

The resultant text reads as follows:

"C. Correct: Content pages can reference public methods in the master page."

(BTW, please delete my erroneous entry in which I indicated that the above error was on p. 858 whereas it's actually on p. 848 and then remove this parenthetical comment.)

"method" needs to be replaced with "methods" in the following text:

"C. Correct: Content pages can reference public method in the master page."

The resultant text reads as follows:

"C. Correct: Content pages can reference public methods in the master page."

Please replace the following text:

FormsView control, 181
FormView control, 194?199, 481
