Confusing, incomplete, inaccurate

After the first 2 chapters, it was painfully clear this book was not written by someone familiar with the release version of Visual Studio 2005 - which this book references and recommends for following along with the examples. I will give the author the benefit of doubt on this - and assume that he simply tried to write this book too early using a pre-release version of Visual Studio 2005. Regardless, the result is an extremely confusing tour of ASP.NET 2.0. This is particularly disappointing given the intended audience for this book.
I could find none of the downloadable examples mentioned, but even more frustrating was that I could find no errata on the McGraw-Hills Web site or on Jim Keogh's Web site.
I strongly suggest you avoid this book. I will be returning it today.
