INTRODUCTION<br />

FIGURE I-2<br />

The Site folder conta<strong>in</strong>s the site as you’ll build it throughout this book, <strong>and</strong> the Release folder will<br />

conta<strong>in</strong> your f<strong>in</strong>al version at the end of this book. Whenever you’re stuck with some examples <strong>in</strong> this<br />

book, you can take a peek <strong>in</strong> the Source folder to see how th<strong>in</strong>gs should have ended up.<br />

If you want to run the site for a specific chapter to see how it works, be sure to open the chapter’s<br />

folder <strong>in</strong> Visual Studio as a website. So, you should open a folder such as C:\Beg<strong>ASP</strong><strong>NET</strong>\Source\<br />

Chapter 12 directly rather than open<strong>in</strong>g its parent folder C:\Beg<strong>ASP</strong><strong>NET</strong>\Source.<br />

If you want to follow along <strong>in</strong> both programm<strong>in</strong>g languages, create a second folder called C:\<br />

Beg<strong>ASP</strong><strong>NET</strong><strong>VB</strong> or C:\Beg<strong>ASP</strong><strong>NET</strong>CS to hold the files for the other version. This way, the two sites can<br />

coexist without any problems. If you create a folder specifically for the C# language, don’t <strong>in</strong>clude<br />

the hash symbol (#) because that’s an <strong>in</strong>valid character <strong>in</strong> the pathname for a website.<br />

Stick<strong>in</strong>g to this structure ensures a smooth execution of the Try It Out exercises <strong>in</strong> this book.<br />

Incorrectly mix<strong>in</strong>g or nest<strong>in</strong>g these folders makes it harder to carry out the exercises <strong>and</strong> may<br />

even lead to unexpected situations <strong>and</strong> errors. Whenever you run <strong>in</strong>to an issue or error that is not<br />

expla<strong>in</strong>ed <strong>in</strong> this book, ensure that your site structure is still closely related to the one<br />

presented here.<br />

ERRATA<br />

I have made every effort to ensure that there are no errors <strong>in</strong> the text or <strong>in</strong> the code. However, no<br />

one is perfect, <strong>and</strong> mistakes do occur. If you f<strong>in</strong>d an error <strong>in</strong> this book, such as a spell<strong>in</strong>g mistake<br />

or a faulty piece of code, I’d be very grateful for your feedback. By send<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> errata you may save<br />

another reader hours of frustration <strong>and</strong> at the same time you will be help<strong>in</strong>g me provide even higher<br />

quality <strong>in</strong>formation.<br />
