Hello all! Thank you for purchasing a copy of my book. In return I will do my best to make sure that all your questions get answered and all your issues get addressed. Please feel free to report any issues that you might have to me via this site. Error with CacheTester.cs Did you get through the chapter on setting up your environments? The cache tester class (depending on what you are using or have configured) either uses the standard .net cache or an open source product called MemCache. If your error is due to a MemCache configuration make sure that you install MemCache Win32 and configure it as specified in the environments chapter (appendix). Error with Microsoft.Office.Outlook This code is not required to run your over all solution. This project is in there as an example of what is needed to create an AcitveX component to tap into a users Oulook contacts and then import them to the friends system. I didn't have time to get this into the book but felt that most likely people would want to see how to do this. Remember that using something of this nature requires that your users must install the ActiveX to run it on their machine. For this reason make sure to provide the single Friend import and contacts.csv bulk import features along with the ActiveX option (if you choose to use it). Error with UrlRewrite If you are getting a UrlRewrite error when viewing a post in the forum then take a look here: http://forum.socialnetworkingin.net/yaf_postst12_Email-URL-Rewrite.aspx

Hello Andrew,
1. I couldn't find anyting in the appendixes re. MemCache. I think the problem with the cache is that the book's code treats this class's methods as Static (P. 49), and so does the CacheTester, while the CodePlex's code doesn't.
2. There are some discussions in CodePlex, that someone should monitor (hint ;-)

I believe that MemCache is discussed in the last chapter when we discuss scaling your application. I turned on notifications for me in the discussion board. I really just posted that project to codeplex so that followers of the book could grow the code base. I will follow it and help out where needed.

I think that's a GREAT idea, and highly motivating. However, as Leonid wrote there, there must be a way to post back corrections to the repository, probably through SVN patches.

I added Leonidg as a developer to the project on codeplex. Updates can now be committed. I can't have it be open for anyone to commit stuff though as I would get all sorts of junk! People have to request access to commit code.

Great. Thanks! I have no experience with open source, but maybe it's a good idea to have people send you (or later - appointed reviewers) subversion patches so you can review the code before commiting to the respository?
