I'm actually reading the SelfPaced Training Kit 70-536 at the moment too...

This one to be excact:

And i can find 18 references to P/Invoke, but none of them in the context
that Tony referred to. I have searched the PDF for the sentence Tone
mentioned with direct calls and found no hit. I'm guessing mine is the first
edition, since it is not the one with the black cover they use now and
"Second Edition" is not mentioned in the above text. But it seems silly to
have introduced so many errors into a second edition, that many here
consider the book to be silly at best and unusable at worst..

Actually I might mix this up this specific row was probably from the
e-learning that I also use.
I use the same Self-Paced Training Kit (Exam 70-536): Microsoft .NET
Framework:
Application Development Foundation, Second Edition" from Tony northrup
printed 2007.
