code for csharptoday.com articles?

I recently bought a couple of those $8.00 dot net articles that you can buy from Amazon and others. They were orig issued 2001...on the cover page, the heading is www.csharptoday.com, and at the bottom of the cover page, it says Copyright 2002, Wrox Press.

The links for downloading code related to the both articles are outdated (ftp://ftp.csharptoday.com/downloads/...rticles....etc)

Where is the download code for this series of articles? Wrox? APress? Wiley? Any ideas...?

This is a good question but unfortunately, I don't have the answer. Please allow me a little bit of time to investigate and try to find the right answer.

And the answer is... You'll need to check with APress. This isn't something we own.

Hope you're right...!
I dropped APress a line today...if I find out anything useful, I'll post it to this thread to save some headaches for you and others in my boat.

Here's how to get the missing code files:
Send a note to [email protected], tell them your problem and include the full, non-working download link that's printed in the csharptoday.com article you purchased. They use the original filename (not the title, not the author) to dig out the download file that corresponds to your article.

Not ideal, but not bad either considering the publishing tangle...
