On this page we list errors identified in the September 2009 edition of
Object-oriented Programming in C# - for C and Java programmers.
The
2008 Errate page
is also available.
Simple typos will not be listed.
In general, errors are corrected in the web edition at
when they are identified. Therefore, the errors listed below should be seen relative
to the PDF version.
-
In section
14.9
it was stated that
"An implicit conversion can take place from a nullable type t? to t. And an explicit
conversion (a cast) is needed from a type t to t?."
This is not correct.
An implicit conversion can take place from a non-nullable type t to t?. And an
explicit conversion (a cast) is needed from a type t? to t.
Thus, conversion between t and t? follows the usual principle of type conversions
in C#.

Some of the exercises in the lecture about 'Operators, Delegates and Events'
where not inserted in the text book version of the teaching material. They
have now been included.
-
In
Section 28.5,
the programs 28.6 - 28.8 have been simplified (and some minor details have been
corrected).
-
In
Section 25.5,
it is now clarified why Trapezoid and Parallelogram are sibling subclasses of
Quadrangle.
-
The discussion of custom serialization in
Section 39.3
has been simplified and cleaned up. In earlier versions of the material, we discussed
two different ways to deal with custom serialization: By means
of the interface
ISerializable,
and via attributes. In the current version, we only describe
how serialization is controlled with use of attributes. As a consequence,
the section called
"Control of the serialization"
has been deleted.
