Conventions

In this book, you will find a number of text styles that distinguish between different kinds of information. Here are some examples of these styles and an explanation of their meaning.

Code words in a text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, and user input are shown as follows: "The new column should be included in the Edit method of PostController."

A block of code is set as follows:

    public interface IPostDetailQueryHandler
    {
      Task<Post> Handle(PostDetailQuery query);
    }

When we wish to draw your attention to a particular part of a code block, the relevant lines or items are set in bold:

     public async Task<IActionResult> Index()
    {
      return View(await _context.Blogs.FromSql("Select *
        from dbo.Blog").ToListAsync());
    }

New terms and important words are shown in bold. Words that you see on the screen, for example, in menus or dialog boxes, appear in the text like this: "We can see from the following screenshot that the Url value is unchanged."

Warnings or important notes appear like this.

Tips and tricks appear like this.
