.NET and COM: Now without 5.1 pounds of paper!

Someone just pointed out to me that my Interop book is now available in PDF format at Amazon.  I had no idea!  I haven't made the leap to e-books yet, but I think having full text search would be very handy in this case...

Are you going to be updating the book for .NET 2.0, or is the book not really affected by 1.1 vs. 2.0?

I have very bad experiences with online books with DRM protection. The first few days/weeks it works then some update occurs, (critical, service pack, product update,...) and the it refuses to show the contents ever again.

Give me the real book.

I currently don't have any plans to update the book. At times it's tempting, but I'm resisting the urge!

I just bought your e-book. It rocks! It describes most things that I have been trying to do for weeks now. Although I am having trouble making VB6 behave with .NET events, even after following your instructions in the book, it definitely is a VERY good resource for Interop.

The eBook has a lot of restrictions though with no printing and no text copying which sucks a little since I wanted to print a few pages and discuss with some colleagues.

An extra chapter regarding how things have changed (if at all) in .NET 2.0 would be great ofcourse! :-)

I've got your book some time back. It's really great - to me it's "the COM / .NET interop book" indeed. Amount of details, tips etc is astounding (I guess only very involved MS guy like you can know it all ;)

Anyway I want to share a few things (I know this is a late post for this message):

1. Some information one just can't find (not easliy at least) anywhere else. This unforunately (for us) includes very essential (IMO) things like the fact .NET COM objects behave as if they aggregated FTM etc. I wish MSDN listed things like that clearly some place visible.

2. Electronic version seems a good idea - ability to search through this book would be very helpful. Printed index doesn't help much -there's so much stuff there.

3. At the time I bought it (last year automn I guess) I saw the book only in one bookstore (where I bought it). I couldn't even find it anywhere on the net. Even now some popular sites (bookpool) show is as out-of-stock .
Too bad - this book is really great, I just feel like you're loosing money ;)

4. I do hope you'll want to update this book one day. (It's so easy to expect perfection of others ;)
