Conventions

In this book, you will find a number of text styles 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: "We can start creating a folder called Base and a folder called Core inside the main Xamarin Form project."

A block of code is set as follows:

using SQLite.Net.Attributes; 
 
namespace XamarinByExample.MonkeysCatalogue 
{ 
    public class BaseEntity<TKey> 
    { 
        [PrimaryKey] 
        public TKey Key { 
            get; 
            set; 
        } 
    } 
}

New terms and important words are shown in bold. Words that you see on the screen, for example, in menus or dialog boxes, appear in the text like this: "To use a WSDL, we need to right-click on the project and select Add a Web Reference:"
