Conventions used

There are a number of text conventions used throughout this book.

Code in text: Indicates code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles. Here is an example: “The URL includes the scope parameter, scope=openid+profile+email, which consists of the standard OIDC permissions that the User.Read permission uses.”

A block of code is set as follows:

using Microsoft.Identity.Client;
const string _clientId = "<app/client ID>";
const string _tenantId = "<tenant ID>";
var app = PublicClientApplicationBuilder

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

var app = PublicClientApplicationBuilder
    .Create(_clientId)
    .WithAuthority(AzureCloudInstance.AzurePublic, _tenantId)
    .WithRedirectUri("http://localhost")
    .Build();

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

$ dotnet new console -n "<app name>"

Bold: Indicates a new term, an important word, or words that you see onscreen. For instance, words in menus or dialog boxes appear in bold. Here is an example: “Select Microsoft for Identity provider, leave everything as default, and click Add.”
