Pages 2 and 3: Clarification on virtual directory name

After installing the Code Samples as described on pages xxv and xxvi, a virtual directory is created in IIS named aspnet2sbs which contains the sample code. The last line on on Page 2 and Step 3 on Page 3 both refer to a virtual directory named ASPNETStepByStep.

In those instances and where ever else in the content a virtual directory containing the code samples is referred to, replace ASPNETStepByStep with aspnet2sbs.

Page 3: Wrong location for helloworld.htm file referenced

On page 3, step 3 reads:

"After the TELNET client connects, type the following GET command (assuming you have a virtual directory named aspnet2sbs on you machine, containing a file named HelloWorld.HTM):

C:/> GET //aspnet2sbs/helloworld.htm"

It should read: "After the TELNET client connects, type the following GET command (assuming you have a virtual directory named aspnet2sbs on you machine, containing a file named HelloWorld.HTM in the /CS/Chapter02/content subdirectory):

C:/> GET //aspnet2sbs/CS/Chapter02/content/helloworld.htm"

Page 35: Extra using line in code sample.

On page 35, the first three lines of Listing 2-1 read:

using System;
// partial1.cs
using System;

The first line should be removed, so they read:

// partial1.cs
using System;

Page 36: Method2 defined rather than Method1 in Listing 2-1

On page 36, the definition of Method2 in Listing 2-1 reads:

public void Method2()
{
	Console.WriteLine("SplitMe Method2");
}

It should read:

public void Method1()
{
	Console.WriteLine("SplitMe Method1");
}

Page 42: ASP.NET Web Site template referenced rather than Empty Web Site

On page 42, the first sentence of the last paragraph reads:

"Selecting ASP.NET Web Site causes Visual Studio to generate a directory structure similar to the one generated by ASP.NET Web Site."

It should read:

"Selecting ASP.NET Web Site causes Visual Studio to generate a directory structure similar to the one generated by Empty Web Site."

Page 86: Extra step needed between steps 1 and 2 of the Using View State process

On page 86, an additional step should be inserted between steps 1 and 2 of the Using View State process that reads:

"Add System.Collections to the list of using directives.

using System;
	
using System.Collections.Generic;
	
using System.ComponentModel;
	
using System.Text;
	
using System.Web.UI;
	
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
	
using System.Collections

"

Page 97: Incorrect control name used in Step 10

The first two sentences of step 10 read:

"Build the project and add the User control to the ControlORama UsePalindromeCheckerControls.aspx page. You can pick up the User control directly from the toolbox and drop it on to the page."

They should read:

"Build the project and add the PalindromeCheckerCompositeControl control to the ControlORama UsePalindromeCheckerControls.aspx page. You can pick up the PalindromeCheckerCompositeControl control directly from the toolbox and drop it on to the page."
