Conventions

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: "Add a new XML file to the project, Projects.xml."

A block of code is set as follows:

public class Project
{
public int ProjectId { get; set; }
public string Title { get; set; }
public int EstimatedDaysLeft { get; set; }
public string Status { get; set; }
public string AssignedTo { get; set; }
public int NumberOfTasks { 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:

lblStatus.Content = "Started";
// Replace "http://gaston-pc" with
// your SharePoint Web site's URL
_context = new SP.ClientContext("http://gaston-pc");
_context.Load(_context.Web);
_context.ExecuteQueryAsync(OnConnectSucceeded, null);

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: "Click on Create; SharePoint will create the new list with no items".

Note
