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, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles are shown as follows: "First, run the Install commands for the pieces that are accomplished in PowerShell commandlets."

A block of code is set as follows:

using System;
using System.IO;
using ServiceControl.Plugin.CustomChecks;
using ServiceControl.Plugin.CustomChecks.Messages;
using ServiceControl.Plugin.CustomChecks.Internal;
namespace PaymentEngine.ECommerce
{
    public class MyCustomCheck : CustomCheck
    {
        public MyCustomCheck()
            : base("ECommerce SubmitPayment check", "ECommerce")
        {
            ReportPass();
        }
    }}

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

"PM> Get-NserviceBusLocalMachineSettings"

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: "Go to the Component Services option under the Administrative Tools menu."
