Conventions

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

Code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, and user input are shown as follows: "Additionally, the .editorconfig files can be checked into the repo alongside the sources, so that the rules are enforced for every user that contributes to the repo."

A block of code is set as follows:

 private void Method_PreferBraces(bool flag)
  {
    if (flag)
    {
      Console.WriteLine(flag);
    }
  }    

Any command-line input or output is written as follows:

msbuild ClassLibrary.csproj /v:m

New terms and important words are shown in bold. Words that you see on the screen, in menus or dialog boxes for example, appear in the text like this: "Start Visual Studio, click File | New | Project..., create a new C# class library project, and replace the code in Class1.cs with code from the code sample at ClassLibrary/Class1.cs."

Warnings or important notes appear in a box like this.

Tips and tricks appear like this.
