Good day, I purchased Microsoft Visual C# Step by Step in the Nook version from Barnes and Noble. I have Win 8.1, VC 2013 Ultimate (trial version. I also download the code samples. I ran into an issue that I do not understand: On Page 90 of the Nook version of the book while using the samples, the book state that I need to add some code to the switch statement. All is well until I Add the case that is suppose to change the '&&' to a literal. By the way all the others are OK... " case '&' " At this point I get the red squiggly under the statement and it says there is a -newline in constant-. The first thing I notice is one of the single quotes are missing and add the ending single quote. Now the tooltip error reads - Too many characters in character literal -. at this point I am lost as that I do not Program for a living. I have included my code directly from VS 2013 Ultimate below: Please help me out. I just picked up the book yesterday and have learned a great deal just from the few pages and samples I did. Oh something minor: When I initial dropped the zip files into my documents it said the path was too long. I just ignored the error and it seemed to work ok. Thank-you for your time Harvey L Wright Lubbock, TX private void copyOne(char current) { switch (current) { case '<' : target.Text += "<"; break; case '>' : target.Text += ">"; break; case '&' : <<< The error is here target.Text += "&" ; break; case '"' : target.Text += """ ; break; case ''' : target.Text += "'"; break; default: target.Text += current; break; } }Anonymous

This book makes reference to an 8.1 directory under the chapter folders in the companion source code. No directory exists for 8.1 - only 7 and 8.Anonymous
