ERRATA
======

There is an error in the DemoPerson function of the
Chapter08\Lesson 2\VB\Callback\Client\StandardClient\Module1.vb listing.
The statement that reads
 
            Dim person As IPerson = _
                CType(Activator.GetObject(GetType(IPerson), _
                "tcp://localhost:9000/Person.rem"), IPerson)
 
should actually read
 
            demo_person = _
                CType(Activator.GetObject(GetType(IPerson), _
                "tcp://localhost:9000/Person.rem"), IPerson)
 
The code on the companion CD is correct as is.
