Date formatting table on Page 173 is wrong

Friday, October 03 2008         No Comments

John T correctly points out that Word did a number on the table on Page 173.  Currently it looks like this:

D                         8/7/1971
D                         Saturday, August 7, 1971
G                        8/7/1971 12:00 AM
G                        8/7/1971 12:00:00 AM
S                        1971-08-07T00:00:00
Y                        August 1971

and that isn't right.  the first D should be a d and the first G should be a g.  The S should be a small s too.

All ofthe date formatting codes (which are great for use in ToString, too) are at this link:

There is no Inherits statement!

On page 72 or therabouts, I state that you should put the Dim statement under the Inherits statement.  This is a cut-and-paste error, left over from when I used a web project for that chapter.  Windows Forms doesn't use the Inherits statement anymore in a default project. 

Just put the statement right after the Public Class statement.  Sorry about the confusion.  The good news is that was the only mistake that has been found (so far)!
