Known Errors in the
C# 2008 For Dummies Book

Errors in the Code | Errors on This Web Site | Report an Error Not Listed in These Error Pages

I just got hold of my first copy of the published book, and sure enough, I found the requisite goofs. I'll list them here and later add any that my astute readers discover.

I apologize for the inconvenience these errors will cause you - but at least you have the correct information on this page. I've categorized the errors so you can focus first on the most substantive ones.

If you spot an apparent error, please look in these pages before you report the error. You can use the link above to Report Errors on the Site or in the Book (or in the example code).

NEW: As of 4-21-08, I'm dating entries to help you locate what's new. Dates will look like

Errors in the Book

Here they are. I'm trying to get them corrected in future printings.

Errors due to a late chapter-numbering change

Just before the book went to the printer, we dropped one of the Bonus Chapters but failed to correct some cross-references to other Bonus Chapters. Follow the link above for details.

Errors of Fact

The errors in this category are substantive errors: wrong keyword, bad directory path, other incorrect information. Follow the link above for these errors.

Errors of a More Cosmetic Nature

The errors in this category are less substantive than those in the previous category. Formatting, minor nits like missing words and punctuation, that sort of thing. Follow the link above for these errors.

Tips and Techniques

The items in this category are things that I would have liked to get into the book but didn't. They should improve your code and/or your coding technique. Follow the link above for these items.
