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 are shown as follows: "In this recipe, we will find out how a Windows identity can be abstracted with claims using the System.IdentityModel assembly in .NET Framework 4.0."

A block of code is set as follows:

using (WindowsClaimSet claims = new WindowsClaimSet(WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent()))
{
foreach (var claim in claims)
{
Console.WriteLine(string.Format("Claim Type: {0}", claim.ClaimType));
Console.WriteLine(string.Format("Resource: {0}", claim.Resource.ToString()));
Console.WriteLine(string.Format("Right: {0}", claim.Right));
Console.WriteLine ("**********************************************");
}
}

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

<!--Commented out by FedUtil-->
<!--<authentication mode="Windows" />-->
<authorization>
<deny users="?" />
</authorization>

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

makecert -r -pe -n "CN= SamlTokenSigningCertificate" -b 01/01/2010 -e
01/01/2012 -sky exchange -ss my

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: "In the Federation Utility wizard, enter the application URL in the Application URI drop-down list, and click on Next."
