CD-ROM: "ImageIndex" should be "ImageList"

One of the Readiness Review assessment questions contains an answer with an incorrect C# component.

The question reads:
"Which of the following code examples correctly associates an image from an ImageList component with a Button control? Assume an ImageList component named ImageList1 and a Button control named Button1. (Choose all that apply.)"

In the correct answer change:

Button1.ImageList = ImageList1
Button1.ImageKey = "myImage"

// C#
button1.ImageIndex = imageList1;
button1.ImageKey = "myImage";

To:

Button1.ImageList = ImageList1
Button1.ImageKey = "myImage"

// C#
button1.ImageList = imageList1;
button1.ImageKey = "myImage";

CD-ROM: "composite" should be "custom"

In the Readiness Review assessment, Question 27 (526P_6.1.7_01) uses an incorrect control.

Change:
"You are creating a composite control. You want to provide a transparent background color. How can you do this? (Choose all that apply.)"

To:
"You are creating a custom control. You want to provide a transparent background color. How can you do this? (Choose all that apply.)"

CD-ROM: == should be !=

One of the Readiness Review assessment questions contains an answer with an incorrect C# component.

The question reads:
"You created a Windows Forms application. The application performs long-running operations, and you create a BackgroundWorker object named BackgroundWorker1. You create a method named BackgroundWorker1_RunWorkerCompleted to respond when the process has completed successfully, ended in an error, or been cancelled by the user. The method declaration is:"

In the third answer, the first line contains a "==" symbol rather than a "!=" symbol.

Change:

if (e.Error == null)

To:

if (e.Error != null)

Page 19: Property Grid used in place of Toolbox

Page 33: Column numbering stated to begin at 1 rather than 0

On page 33, the first two sentences of the fourth paragraph read:

"Columns in a TableLayoutPanel are numbers starting at 1, while rows start at 0. Thus, the example shown above adds aButton to the cell in column 3 at row 3, which is actually the 3rd column and the 4th row the user sees."

It should read:

"Columns and rows in a TableLayoutPanel are numbers starting at 0. Thus, the example shown above adds aButton to the cell in column 3 at row 3, which is actually the 4th column and the 4th row the user sees."

Page 38: the words False and True should be reversed

On page 38, the last two sentences in the second to the last paragraph read:

"Note that you cannot set both of these controls to False. For example, if you set Panel1Collapsed to False when the Panel2Collapsed is already set to False, Panel2Collapsed will be set to True."

They should read:

"Note that you cannot set both of these controls to True. For example, if you set Panel1Collapsed to True when the Panel2Collapsed is already set to True, Panel2Collapsed will be set to False."

"Likewise, when the Value property is the same value as the Minimum property, the ProgressBar control appears completely filled."

It should read:

"Likewise, when the Value property is the same value as the Maximum property, the ProgressBar control appears completely filled."

Page 571: Incorrect value used in AutoPopDelay property formula

On page 571, the 4th sentence in the second paragraph from the bottom incorrectly states that the AutoPopDelay is set to 5 times the AutomaticDelay property.

Change:
"The AutoPopDelay property is set to 5 * N milliseconds, and the ReshowDelay property is set to N/5 milliseconds."

To:
"The AutoPopDelay property is set to 10 * N milliseconds, and the ReshowDelay property is set to N/5 milliseconds."

Page 581: "DefaultSettings" should be "Default"

On page 581, the C# code sample near the top of the page contains an incorrect object.

Change:

// C#
Properties.Settings.DefaultSettings.TitleSetting = "This is the new Title";
Properties.Settings.DefaultSettings.Save();

To:

// C#
Properties.Settings.Default.TitleSetting = “This is the new Title”;
Properties.Settings.Default.TitleSetting.Save();

Page 597: "must" is used in place of "most"

On page 597, the second sentence of the 2nd paragraph reads:

"BackgroundWorker supports the ability to cancel a background process, but you must implement must of the cancellation code yourself."

It should read:

"BackgroundWorker supports the ability to cancel a background process, but you must implement most of the cancellation code yourself."

Page 653: "overrides" should be "override"

On page 653, the first line in the C# code example contains an incorrect keyword.

Change:

protected overrides void OnPaint(System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventArgs pevent)

To:

protected override void OnPaint(System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventArgs pevent)

Page 655: Call to Refresh missing from C# code

On page 655, the C# code at the top of the page is missing a line.

Change:

// C#
protected override void OnClick(EventArgs e)
{
    mClicks++;
    base.OnClick(e);
}

To:

// C#
protected override void OnClick(EventArgs e)
{
    mClicks++;
    base.OnClick(e);
    this.Refresh();
}

Page 707: ODBC should be Oracle and vice versa

On page 707, the explanations for answers A and D for question 1 of Lesson 6 are incorrect.

Change:
"A. Incorrect. Integrated security = yes is used for ODBC connections."

To:
"A. Incorrect. Integrated security = yes is used for Oracle connections."

Change:
"D. Incorrect. Trusted_Connection = yes is used for Oracle connections."

To:
"D. Incorrect. Trusted_Connection = yes is used for ODBC connections."

Page 723: InnerXml should be ReadInnerXml and OuterXml should be ReadOuterXml

Page 723, answers C & D to Question 2 contain incorrect methods.

Change:
"C. Correct. The MoveToAttribute method allows you to specify either an attribute name or index. The attribute value is exposed via the InnerXml property.
D. Incorrect. When positioned on an attribute, the OuterXml property returns the name of the attribute as well as the value."

To:
"C. Correct. The MoveToAttribute method allows you to specify either an attribute name or index. The attribute value is exposed via the ReadInnerXml property.
D. Incorrect. When positioned on an attribute, the ReadOuterXml property returns the name of the attribute as well as the value."

Page 729: IsMdiContainer referred to as IsMdiParent

On page 729, answer A to question 1 of Lesson 3 reads:

"Correct. You must create a parent form by setting the IsMdiParent property to True."

It should read:

"Correct. You must create a parent form by setting the IsMdiContainer property to True."

Page 742: Definition for "delegate" incorrect

On page 742, the definition for "delegate" reads:

"A type-date function pointer that can be used to call a method synchronously or asynchronously."

It should read:

"A type-safe function pointer that can be used to call a method synchronously or asynchronously."
