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: "For instance, Objective-C types such as NSObject, NSString, NSArray are exposed in C# and provide binding to underlying types."

A block of code is set as follows:

namespace Master.Xamarin.Portable
{
    public class MyPhotoViewer
    {
        private readonly IStorageManager m_StorageManager;

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

bcdedit /copy {current} /d "No Hyper-V"
bcdedit /set {<identifier from previous command>} hypervisorlaunchtype off

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: "It can still be accessed using the Run with Mono HeapShot menu item under the Project menu in Xamarin Studio."
