Missing line in the beginning of the example 15-20.

The text says:"Example 15-20 shows a version of the relevant code from Example 15-19 modified to work this way/"


Type pluginAttributeType = Assembly.ReflectionOnlyLoad(typeof(PluginInformationAttribute).Assembly.FullName).GetType("CustomAttributes.PluginInformationAttribute");

Without this line there is no comprehensible way to combine example 15-19 and (incomplete!) example 15-20 to get working code. I was able to recover this missing line only from the downloaded examples.

In other way, the example 15-20 should include the whole initial fragment of code as follows:
static void ShowPluginInformation(string pluginFolder)
{
var dir = new DirectoryInfo(pluginFolder);
Type pluginAttributeType = Assembly.ReflectionOnlyLoad(typeof(PluginInformationAttribute).Assembly.FullName).GetType("CustomAttributes.PluginInformationAttribute");
foreach (var file in dir.GetFiles("*.exe"))
{
Assembly pluginAssembly = Assembly.ReflectionOnlyLoadFrom(file.FullName);

1st paragraph

"However, they try have always tried hard"..

Double use of the verb 'try', I assume the first use could be removed.

"green block" sidebar?

My guess here is the word assuming is used, where the word assume should be used, the sentence doesn't sound correct otherwise.

"but does not assuming any prior experience in C#."

"And the division's left-hand operand is another.."

I assume the left-hand side should be the right-hand side of the division.

paragraph 2 (under example 1-2)

"because that's where the only code in in this example will live."

The word 'in' is double, and needs to be only there once.

last sentence of the page

".. Example 1-8 would be not need either explicit .."

.. would not need ..
There is no need for 'be' in the sentence.

Case statement discussion

In discussion of the case statements there is mention of multiple cases being allowed but the code example doesn't show it.
"As you can see, a single section can serve multiple possibilities ? you can put several different case lines at the start of a section, and the statements in that section will run if any of those cases apply"

Since the example does not show this, it could be misconstrued to mean the code statements in a singlecase further confused by the discussion of fall through. Code follows to illustrate missing example:

switch(i)
{
case 1: case 2: case 3: DoSomething(); break;
case 0: DoSomethingElse(); GoNutz(); break;
}

2nd paragraph

The expression has no subtraction, yet the explanation says the division is done before or after subtraction.

"..the division is performed or after the subtraction."

The difference between commented, and not commented text is unclear in the green lines of the examples.

first paragraph

On topic of ConditionalAttribute text reads "You can annotate any method with this attribute" This is wrong. You can only annoate methods that return void and have no out parameters.

"Checked statements always involved a block.."

"..arithmetic on integers is not a liming factor,.."

it is not a limiting factor? Or does liming mean the same?

1st paragraph

In "integers is not a liming factor, so it?s quite possible that you won?t notice.", liming should be limiting

"The shift operators move all the binary digits left or right by one position."

No, they move all the binary digits left or right by the number of bits specified by the 2nd operand.

Paragraph 2

"with more than 2,147,483,591 (0x7FEFFFFF) elements"

2,147,483,591 is 0x7FFFFFC7. 0x7FEFFFFF is 2,146,435,071. But I think that what's really meant is

"with more than 2,147,483,647 (0x7FFFFFFF) elements"

Though DynamicAttribute is not needed for the local variable(because the only code that can use a local variable is its defining method), Why is DynamicAttribute need for parameters?

Restrictions on the dynamic Type

"C# compiler is doing work at runtime to determine how to perform that addition."

maybe

"C# compiler is doing work to determine at runtime how to perform that addition."

1st paragraph (inside warning icon)

Both two references to Example 14-17 should be to Example 14-16. Example 14-17 is for ExpandoObject.

1st paragraph

The sentence,

"This is the version number end users will see if....."

should be

"This is the version number and users will see if....."

The "end" is typo.

2nd paragraph

"Although the File and Folder classes"
should be
"Although the File and Directory classes"
because there's no Folder class in the .NET Framework class library.

Example 17-14

email.SendCompleted += (s, e) => { if (!tooLate) { emailSent.Set(); } }
should have a semicolon at the end of line:
email.SendCompleted += (s, e) => { if (!tooLate) { emailSent.Set(); } };

Example 17-14.

"// Prevent call to Set after a timeout"

it does not prevent completely to call Set at timeout.

should be

"// Prevent call to Set after emailSent has been disposed."

2nd paragraph

4th line in the 2nd paragraph says:
WPF would interpret it as the Page class in the System.Windows.Controls.Page CLR namespace.
but I think its namespace should be 'System.Windows.Controls' because there's no 'System.Windows.Controls.Page' namespace.

2nd paragraph

The 1st line of 2nd paragraph says:
All elements define a LayoutChanged event.
but I think it should be:
All elements define a LayoutUpdated event.

Actually, there's no LayoutChanged event for for UIElement class, but LayoutUpdated.
