[Updated 2/15/2006] By accident, the wrong version of the source code for early book chapters was posted to the WROX site. Here's the story from my Amazon.com "Plog" for the book and the entry on
http://oakleafblog.blogspot.com:
I've uploaded to the WROX download code site (
http://www.wrox.com/WileyCDA/WroxTit...load_code.html) a complete refresh of the Visual Basic 2005 source code for Chapters 1 through 9 of the source code files for Expert One-on-One Visual Basic 2005 Database Programming. The refresh includes source code for chapters 10 through 12, which is unchanged. The update contains fixes for code in chapters 1 through 5 that readers weren't able to open in Visual Studio 2005's Windows form designer, as well as other minor fixes. The individual chapter zip files (Chapter 01.zip through Chapter12.zip) have different names than the original versions, but the new contents will overwrite the original source code copied to your \VB2005DB\Chapter01 through \VB2005DB\Chapter12 folders.
Important: You must download Part 1 (57678X_code.part1.exe, 9.44 MB) and Part 2 (57678X_code.part2.rar) into the same temporary folder of your choice (e.g., C:\Temp). Then run 57678X_code.part1.exe to start the extraction process for the Chapter##.zip files into the same or another folder (e.g., C:\VB2005DB). Finally, extract each Chapter##.zip file to a \VB2005DB\Chapter##\... folder and subfolders by marking the Extract dialog's Use Folder Names check box. For an illustrations of the WinRAR and WinZIP dialogs, go to

Caution: If you want to save modifications you made to the original source code, please change the name of your current \VB2005DB folder before opening the Chapter##.zip files.
The source code update also contains a new version of Chapter 2's ReportViewerDemo.sln WinForm project and adds a new ASP.NET 2.0 ReportViewerWebDemo WebForm project to Chapter 8. You can learn more about the new ReportViewer control for WinForms in my "Build Client-Side Reports Easily" article in the November 2005 edition of Visual Studio Magazine. Watch for the announcement of a similar article about the ReportViewer control's WebForms version. This OakLeaf Blog post has links to this an other recent VSM articles.
