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, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles are shown as follows: Every call of the Geolocator_StatusChanged method causes translation of the status into a text message and assigning it to the GeolocatorStatus property.

A block of code is set as follows:

public class PlayerData
{
  public string Name { get; set; }
  public GeoCoordinate Location { get; set; }
}

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 PlayerData
{
  public string Name { get; set; }
  public GeoCoordinate Location { get; set; }
}

If a part of a code block is deleted to improve legibility, remove repetition, or simplify the content, the relevant parts are replaced with (…):

<phone:PhoneApplicationPage
  x:Class="SpaceAim3D.Views.MenuPage" (...)
  FontFamily="{StaticResource PhoneFontFamilyNormal}" (...)> (...)
</phone:PhoneApplicationPage>

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

ISETool.exe EnumerateDevices

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: Choose the Add and New Folder options from the context menu of the project in the Solution Explorer window.
