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 AddTransient method allows our custom validator CustomerValidator to be discoverable by ASP.NET Core."

A block of code is set as follows:

  if (result.Succeeded)
  {
    _logger.LogInformation("User logged in.");
    return LocalRedirect(returnUrl);
  }

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 result = await _signInManager.PasswordSignInAsync(Input.Email, Input.Password, Input.RememberMe, lockoutOnFailure: true);

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

git clone https://github.com/PacktPublishing/ASP.NET-Core-Secure-Coding-Cookbook.git

1. Bold: Indicates a new term, an important word, or words that you see onscreen. For example, words in menus or dialog boxes appear in the text like this. Here is an example: "Select one record and click its Edit link."
