AND


P221 : Try It Out, Step 9

Should read:

Close the browser and switch to Source View in VWD. Take a look at what VWD built for you in the SqlDataSource control. The Fixtures.aspx page will appear as follows in Source View.


AND


P221 : How It Works Paragraph, fifth sentence should read:

Then you see a connection string holding the name of your server (.\SQLEXPRESS) and the database file you chose (WroxUnited.mdf) identified in connection string syntax as Data Source and AttachDbFilename respectively.


AND


P221 : How It Works Paragraph, final sentence should read:

Because you picked your data source to be a Microsoft SQL Server data file, VWD also added the providerName property to the data source control set to "System.Data.SqlClient". Last but not least, VWD adds a property to the data source control called SelectCommand. This is set to the SQL statement to retrieve all the data from the Fixtures table that we created and tested at the end of the wizard.


AND


P221 : 1st paragraph after the "Hiding the Connection String" heading, fourth sentence should read:

Second, if you were using SQL Authentication rather than Windows Authentication as in the previous example, you would have to include credentials (name and password) in the connection string as well.


AND


P221 : Last Para, first sentence should read:

Both of these problems can be solved by removing the connection string from each of your ASP.NET pages and adding it into a single entry on the web.config file. Each page can then refer to the connection string in web.config giving you a central place to alter it rather than on every page.

P223 : How It Works, Second Para, first and second sentence should read:

Open the Web.config file and scroll down to the section. Each tag within identifies a connection string for use by your ASP.NET pages. In this case, there is only one - WroxUnited.

AND


P223, Second bullet point and code line following it should be:

• Second is the name of the database file to attach: AttachDbFilename="BegASPNET2\Chapters\Begin\Chapter07\ app_Data\WroxUnited.mdf";

This can be abbreviated to the following if the database file is in your website's app_Data directory
AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|WroxUnited.mdf;


AND


P223, Bulleted list. 3rd bullet should be:

• Third is the number of seconds after which the connection to the database will timeout and raise an error on the page.
Connect Timeout=30;


AND


P223, Last para / P224, first para should read:

If you use a relational database manager other than SQL Server such as Oracle or MySql, you'll need to change the value for the providerName attribute of your connectionString. The example above uses SQL server and so providerName is set to "System.Data.SqlClient". If, for example, you used an Oracle database as your data source, you'd need to set providerName to "System.Data.OracleClient". Don't forget - we use a SqlDataSource because we're querying a data source that understands SQL queries. You won't need to rename it OracleDataSource to get it working. In fact this will cause an error.

You want the user to see the full name of the position (such as Left Back), so we store it in the 's Text property. After the user makes a selection you, as a programmer, will want to actually work with the code (in this case the abbreviation) for the position, so we store that in and then access it from the 's Value property. Note that you can set the selected by default in the list by setting its Selected property to True. If it is not set, the first in the List is selected.

P226, Under the heading, Adding List Items from a Data Source, Para 2 should read:

In the next Try It Out, you're going to use fixtures.aspx to demonstrate static vs dynamic binding. You'll create a ListBox that lets users select the month they want to see match details for. First we'll statically bind the month numbers for September to December to a ListBox. Then we'll dynamically bind it to the actual game dates stored in the database.


AND


P226, Try It Out, Step 1 should read:

Making sure the GridView is still selected, go to the Properties window and find the PageSize property. Set it to 2. (WroxUnited doesn't get invited to many games.) Now expand and set the mode property in the PagerSettings section to NumericFirstLast. Again, run in the browser, play with paging, and then close the browser.


AND


P236, Try It Out, Step 5 should read:

You finish by enabling sorting. Still in Design View, open the smart task panel for the GridView and check the CheckBox labelled Enable Sorting. Now close the panel. Because the Notes field is not logical for sorting, you should turn off sorting for that one field. Switch to Source View, and within the code for the GridView control, find the tag for Notes.

So far in this chapter you have created pages with fixed sets of data. With parameters you can determine, dynamically, what data to display in a data-bound control. In ASP.NET 2.0, a parameter is a tag that holds data that can be used when a control carries out its task. For example, a parameter could hold a date that is used to determine which game to show in a data-bound control. This section starts with a simple case where you will look at how to pass a parameter between pages using a page's querystring.

P251, Under How It Works heading, first para should read:

In step one, you followed a rather elaborate procedure to make the copy. You might be tempted to just open the original and Save As with the new name, but with a Save As you do not get a copy of the code-behind page nor do you get a change in the .aspx page’s reference to the code-behind file. These are necessary to keep the page and its code-behind file separate from the page and code they were copied from.

638 Solution for Ch 10 excercise 1
Bottom of page, following the last "solution" heading on the page (the solution for ch 10 exercise 1):

Replace both lines of text and code with the following.

1) Create a class called CodeBehind.vb in the same folder as CodeBehind.aspx. In the code behind, this code is automatically created:

Public Class CodeBehind
End Class

2) Add the line Inherits System.Web.UI.Page to it so that it reads:

Public Class CodeBehind Inherits System.Web.UI.Page
End Class

Strictly speaking you should also change the Public Class to Partial Class, but this change ISN'T necessary to get the solution working.

3) Go back to CodeBehind.aspx and add the following code to the @Page directive:

<%@Page CodeFile="CodeBehind.Vb" Inherits="CodeBehind" %>

3) Add the Label control to the page.

4) Go back to the Code Behind file and from the drop down boxes above the code select CodeBehind (the class name from the left) and select Load from the right. As mentioned on page 357 code is run in response to Page_Load event, so you will need to place your new label.txt code there. The code Label1.Text="Hello World" should be placed in the Page_Load event.

5) Run it.
