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: “Open the file Startup.cs of the project you just created.”
A block of code is set as follows:
public Task StopAsync(CancellationToken cancellationToken)
{
logger.LogInformation(“Hosted service stopping”);
return Task.CompletedTask;
}
When we wish to draw your attention to a particular part of a code block, the relevant lines or items are set in bold:
app.UseEndpoints(endpoints =>
{
endpoints.MapGet(“/”, async context =>
{
await context.Response.WriteAsync(
“Hello World!”);
});
endpoints.MapAppStatus(“/status”, “Status”);
});
Any command-line input or output is written as follows:
dotnet new web -n SampleProject -o SampleProject cd SampleProject code .
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 System info from the Administration panel.”
