Updates for Visual Studio 2017
The 2016 original print and 2017 reprint of this title covers Visual Studio 2015. However, since the book was published Visual Studio 2017 is now available, so we have updated the following pages and code examples (above) accordingly. Visual Studio 2017 targets a newer version of the .NET framework to that in Visual Studio 2015, which means readers will need to adjust the target for the appropriate .NET version to run the code.
