Page 5: Visual Studio 2007 should be Visual Studio 2008
On page 5, the 7th sentence in the first paragraph refers to an incorrect version of Visual Studio.

Change:

&quot;The version of the desktop .NET Framework that ships with Microsoft Visual Studio 2007 is 3.5, and the version of the .NET Compact Framework that ships with Visual Studio 2007 is also 3.5.&quot;

To:

&quot;The version of the desktop .NET Framework that ships with Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 is 3.5, and the version of the .NET Compact Framework that ships with Visual Studio 2008 is also 3.5.&quot;

Page 7: Windows Mobile 6.0 should be Windows Mobile 6
On page 7, the first sentence of the first paragraph contains an incorrect version number for Windows Mobile.

Change:

&quot;If you want to develop applications for Windows Mobile 6.0–powered devices, download a Windows Mobile 6.0 SDK that contains documentation, tools, and new emulators that run Windows Mobile 6.0 that you can use during development.&quot;

To:

&quot;If you want to develop applications for Windows Mobile 6–powered devices, download a Windows Mobile 6 SDK that contains documentation, tools, and new emulators that run Windows Mobile 6 that you can use during development.&quot;

Page 29: Video Graphics Adapter should be Video Graphics Array
On page 29, the third sentence in the first paragraph under the &quot;Screen Resolution Handling&quot; heading contains an incorrect definition for VGA.

Change:

&quot;If you have developed a UI for a Quarter VGA (QVGA) display, what will it look like on a Video Graphics Adapter (VGA) display?&quot;

To:

&quot;If you have developed a UI for a Quarter VGA (QVGA) display, what will it look like on a Video Graphics Array (VGA) display?&quot;

Page 99: Incorrect } placement in code sample
On page 99, a } is in the incorrect location in the first code sample, excluding the Dispose method from the class.

Change: }   public new void Dispose {       if (this.Connection != null) {           this.Connection.Dispose; }       base.Dispose; } }

To: public new void Dispose {           if (this.Connection != null) {               this.Connection.Dispose; }           base.Dispose; }   } }

Page 106: conn missing from code sample
On page 106, the third line of the second code sample is missing a prameter for the ProductsCategoryResultSet method.

Change: new JoinQueryResultSetResultSets.ProductsCategoryResultSet(false);

To: new JoinQueryResultSetResultSets.ProductsCategoryResultSet(false, conn);

Page 172: Incorrect placement of } and formatting in code sample
On page 172, there is a } included in the wrong place, and inconsistant formatting in the code sample.

Change: }else{ // TODO handle other status values }       catch (Exception ex2) {           Debug.WriteLine(ex2.Message); }   }

To: }           else {               // TODO handle other status values }       }        catch (Exception ex2) {           Debug.WriteLine(ex2.Message); }

Page 214: &quot;seconds&quot; should be &quot;milliseconds&quot;
On page 214, the first line in the code sample at the bottom of the page contains an incorrect unit of measurement.

Change: // Takes ~ 5 minutes (i.e., 300,000 seconds)

To: // Takes ~ 5 minutes (i.e., 300,000 milliseconds)
