Chapter 13, Page 465 Try it Out

dstreeter · November 6th, 2010, 03:32 PM

Hi, I believe this is a typo -- I looked at the downloadable coder for this try it out and it seems to substantiate.

Errata input (Beginning ASP.NET 4 in C# and VB by Spaanjaars).
Page 465, last paragraph -- it appears the second field referenced - "Body" should be "Summary". This would apply later on in the same paragraph.

Thanks.

Hi there,

What makes you think that? That paragraph reads as follows:

Quote:

The Title and Body fields should look similar to Summary. The TextBox for the Title field

doesn’t have the TextMode, Width, and Height properties applied, whereas the Body field is missing the RequiredFieldValidator. Other than that, the fields should look pretty
similar to the Summary field.

You just saw the code for the Summary fields, and now this paragraph highlights the differences between the Summary you just saw and the Title and Body fields I didn't show.

What do you think needs to be changed here?

Imar,

Thanks for your response. I've read this section twice more -- I see how I became confused. The RequiredFieldValidator changes were introduced to the Title and Summary fields in this excercise. The paragraph I referenced, immediately following the markup excerpt, is providing a summary of the differences between the Title, Summary and Body fields based on these changes in the markup.

When I read it, I thought it was describing the changes to be made in the Title and Summary fields -- the two fields that received the validation checks.

Sorry for the error.

No problem, and thanks for the update.
