Throughout this book, we’ve used the following typographic conventions:
-
Constant width
Constant width in body text indicates a language construct, such as a C# or VB.NET statement (like
for
orDo
While
), an enumeration, a .NET type or type member, a user-defined type or type member, an operator, a declaration, a directive, or an expression (likedblElapTime
=
Timer
-dblStartTime
). Code fragments and code examples appear exclusively in constant-width text. In syntax statements and prototypes, text set in constant width indicates such language elements as the function or procedure name and any invariable elements required by the syntax.-
Constant width italic
Constant width italic in body text indicates parameter names. In syntax statements or prototypes, constant width italic indicates replaceable parameters.
- Italic
System elements, such as paths and filenames, are italicized. In addition, URLs and email address are italicized. Finally, italics are used the first time a term is used.
