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 text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles are shown as follows: "Add a new folder named NamedQueries to the project."

A block of code is set as follows:

var sessionFactory = ProductModel
  .CreateExampleSessionFactory(true);
var kernel = new StandardKernel();
kernel.Load(new NinjectBindings());
kernel.Bind<ISessionFactory>()

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 class BooksController : Controller
{
  [NHibernateSession]
  public ActionResult Index()
  {
    var books = DataAccessLayer.GetBooks()

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

Install-Package NHibernate -project SessionRecipes

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: "Don't forget to set the Build action to Embedded Resource."

Note

Warnings or important notes appear in a box like this.

Tip
