1 29 Additional configuration directions

The configuration directions as written cause Web Matrix to use Framework version 1.1, but you also need to configure the Web server Cassini to use Framework version 1.1 or you could have problems when you use a DLL created in WebMatrix version 1.1 but try to run a Web form against the server using Framework 1.0. Specifically, without this fix you might encounter this problem in chapter 16. To correct this, replace step 4 on page 29 with these new steps 4 to 6.

4. Save the file.

5. Next you need to create a new text file with the name WebServer.exe.config and add the following code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
<startup>
<supportedRuntime version="v1.1.4322" />
</startup>
</configuration>

If the file already exists then all you need do is insert the <startup> and <supportedRuntime> tags between the <configSection> and <runtime> tags as you did with WebMatrix.exe.config.

6. Save the file and when you run Web Matrix, the .NET Framework version should now be 1.1.x. Select the "About ASP.NET Web Matrix..." item from the Help menu. It should confirm this.

2 61 Missing GrocerToGo.mdb file
The GrocerToGo.mdb file is not part of the book, but part of the .NET Framework examples AFAIK.
Search Google for grocertogo.mdb and Download, and I think you should be able to find it. You may even have it already somewhere on your system....

7 219 Last paragraph, 2nd sentence
Should read: Unlike variables, where the Dim statement defines a class, only the Class keyword followed by the class name (in this case, Person) has been used. The keyword, Public means that the class will be available to all other programs. This is necessary, as an ASP.NET page will use it.
10/14/04
7 225 1st line in step 4
From the Page_Load method, take out the line that sets the EyeColor and modify the class constructor so it looks like the following:
10/14/04
7 225 4th paragraph under "How It Works"
The New keyword specifies that the object is being created, and therefore causes the constructor to be run. Also, because the property is now read only, the line that explicitly sets the eye color has to be removed:

myPerson.EyeColor = "Blue"
10/14/04
7 227 4th line on page
A method is simply a Public Function or Public Sub within the class, and follows the same rules for those as discussed in Chapter 5 so we don't need to cover the basics again.
10/14/04
7 227 1st line in step 1
Edit the FirstClass.aspx file, and remove the text and labels from the HTML <form runat="server"> section.
10/14/04
7 228 2nd line in step 4
Should be: You'll see a simple display that shows the name of the person and the direction they are traveling in, as shown in Figure 7-4:
10/14/04
7 230 1st text paragraph, 2nd sentence
Should be: A value greater than 0 is taken as traveling forwards, and a negative number as traveling backwards:

10/14/04
8 266 1st sentence in step 3
Should be: Pick the SELECT Data Method and drag it from the Toolbox, dropping it into your code window (make sure that where you drop the toolbox item is outside any existing procedures):
10/14/04
8 270 2nd sentence under "How It Works"
This is great if you are a newcomer to SQL as you don't have to understand how the SQL language works.
10/14/04
8 273 5th text paragraph, 3rd sentence
Should be: – This is on the first screen and is the same as the Data Explorer allowing you to pick either Access or SQL Server database.
10/14/04
8 277 2nd table, 1st description for metod "ExecuteNonQuery"
Should be: This executes the command but doesn't return any rows of data. It is useful for commands that perform an action, such as updating data, but that don't need to return a set of data. A value is returned, indicating the number of rows affected by the command.
10/14/04
8 280 1st paragraph after figure 8-22, 2nd sentence
First you've used two controls that are bound to data – the list of categories and the grid of products.
10/14/04
8 283 1st paragraph, 1st sentence under "The DataReader Object" heading
The DataReader, an object that we haven't come across yet, is optimized for reading data.

3rd to last line should be: dataAdapter.Fill(data)

Last line should be: dataAdapter.Fill(data)
10/14/04
9 289 2nd code block & addtional text and code block

2nd code block should be:

dataAdapter.Fill(data, "Products")
dataAdapter.SelectCommand.CommandText = "SELECT * FROM Employees"
dataAdapter.Fill(data, "Employees")

Additional paragraph and code block after 2nd code block should be:

The problem is that this code doesn't work as expected, because IDbDataAdapter doesn't accept the table name as an argument. For this to work you have to use the actual class, OleDbDataAdapter, rather than the interface:

Dim dataAdapter As System.Data.OleDb.OleDbDataAdapter = _
   New System.Data.OleDb.OleDbDataAdapter
dataAdapter.SelectCommand = dbCommand
Dim data As System.Data.DataSet = New System.Data.DataSet
dataAdapter.Fill(data, "Products")

10/14/04
9 291 Step 4, 2nd sentence

9 300 2nd paragraph & 1st code block
Should be:
Finally we update the data for the selected row. There could be many rows returned by the Select() method, so we index into the array. In our case we know that there is only one row returned – at at most one row. We check the Length of the SelectedRows array to make sure that at least one row was found, as trying to update the row would fail if nothing was found.:
If SelectedRows.Length > 0 Then
   selectedRows(0).Item("FirstName") = "John"
   selectedRows(0).Item("LastName") = "Hartford"

VaryByParam enables you to cache sections of the page according to a list of parameters, which are also supplied as a semi-colon delimited list of strings. These strings will either be a query string , or a parameter sent via the POST() method. The permissible values include none,*, or any valid query string or POST() parameter name. You must include this attribute whenever you output cache an ASP.NET page or user control, because a parser error will result otherwise. To ensure the entire page is cached, just set the value to none. The "*" (asterisk) setting specifies that the Output Cache should hold a version of the page for every parameter property that your control returns.

16 610-611 Paragraph below HTTP Post heading
Should read:
HTTP POST
By default though when you send a web service, you will be using HTTP POST, which uses the body of the Request to carry the name-value pairs. You can retrieve these values using the Request.Form collection in ASP.NET. If you use the POST method to send the information, it means that the information isn't visible in the URL. This provides a slightly more secure method, since it is possible to manipulate the name-value pairs when using the GET method, by just typing names and values into the query string in the address bar.
