I believe there is an error in the Form calculateRealOnlyButton_Click

when you read the Complex number b you read the Real portion from the realOnlyTextBox and not the real2TextBox.

Since for the test they are both 3 in the example it works fine but when go to chapter 26 and Copy your chapter 25 E1 it does cause some confusion.

I may have missed this in my rush to get into the meat of the book but when some of your examples used Console.WriteLine() it does not open a console window. After some searching on the internet I found that a way of doing this by changing to a Console program.

Not something that I would have thought would allow window forms so would not have thought to try.

Sorry about that. I'm sure you're right and it sounds like you've diagnosed the problem. I'm sure it was a copy-and-paste error.

There are ways to make console information visible to the user but mostly this is to display debugging information to you while you are running in to Visual Studio. By default in a Windows Forms application things that you write into the console window appear in the Output window.

If you can't find the Output window, open the Debug menu's Windows submenu and pick Output.
