INTRODUCTION
The pencil icon indicates notes, tips, hints, tricks, and asides to the current dis-
cussion. They are offset and placed in italics like this.
References such as this one tell you when to look at the DVD for screencasts
related to the discussion.
As for styles in the text:
New terms and important words are
italicized when they are introduced. You can also find
many of them in the glossary in Appendix A.
Keyboard strokes look like this: [Ctrl]+A.
URLs, code, and e-mail addresses within the text are shown in monofont type as in
We use a monofont type with no highlighting for most code examples.
We use bold to emphasize code that’s particularly important in the present context.
The code editor in Visual Studio provides a rich color scheme to indicate various parts of code
syntax such as variables, comments, and Visual C# keywords. That’s a great tool to help you learn
language features in the editor and to help prevent mistakes as you code. However, the colors don’t
show up in the code in this book.
SOURCE CODE
As you work through the examples in this book, you may choose either to type in all the code man-
ually or to use the source code files that accompany the book. (I like to type in code when I work
through a book because it helps me focus on it so I get a better understanding.)
Many of the examples in the book show only the code that is relevant to the current topic and may
be missing some of the extra details that you need to make the example work properly. To fill in the
missing pieces, you may need to write your own code or download the book’s code.
All of the source code used in this book is available for download on the book’s web sites. As I indi-
cated earlier in this introduction, either go to the Wrox web site (
www.wrox.com) and search for the
book or visit my web page for the book
www.CSharpHelper.com/24hour.html. Any updates to the
code will be posted in both of these places.
