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.

A block of code is set as follows:

// create a graphics layer and give it an ID
var graphicsLayer = new Esri.ArcGISRuntime.Layers.GraphicsLayer();
graphicsLayer.ID = "MyGraphicsLayer";

// add the graphics layer to the map
MyMapView.Map.Layers.Add(graphicsLayer);

A block of XAML code will appear like this:

<esri:GroupLayer DisplayName="Basemap Group">
    <esri:ArcGISTiledMapServiceLayer 
        DisplayName="Imagery" IsVisible="False"
            ServiceUri="http://services.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/World_Imagery/MapServer" />
    <esri:ArcGISTiledMapServiceLayer DisplayName="Street"
        ServiceUri="http://services.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/World_Street_Map/MapServer" />
</esri:GroupLayer>

When we wish to draw your attention to a particular part of a code block, the relevant lines or items are set in bold:

USE MyDatabase;
GO
SELECT Name, ProductNumber, ListPrice AS Price
FROM Production.Product 
WHERE ProductLine = 'R' 
AND DaysToManufacture < 4
ORDER BY Name ASC;
GO

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: "Clicking the Next button moves you to the next screen."

Note

Warnings or important notes appear in a box like this.
