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 are shown as follows: "Each Kinect device represents an instance of the Microsoft.Kinect.KinectSensor class."

A block of code is set as follows:

public sealed class KinectSensorCollection : ReadOnlyCollection<KinectSensor>
{
     public KinectSensor this[string instanceId] { get; }
 
     public event EventHandler<StatusChangedEventArgs> StatusChanged;
}

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

public partial class MainWindow : Window
{

 KinectSensor sensor;
     // remaining code goes here  
}

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: "Move to the Listen tab and select the Listen to this device checkbox and click on Apply".
