.NET Naming Guidelines. Please, need advice.

Hello,

Where can I find some information on .NET naming conventions?

For example, controls prefixes, properties, etc?

And is it normal to name variables with prefixes?

Dim sName As String

If not why is so used something like:

Dim dsNames As Dataset

Or

Dim drName As Datarow

Thanks,

Miguel

Miguel-

The "Framework Design Guidelines: Conventions, Idioms, and Patterns for Reusable
..Net Libraries" by Krzysztof Cwalina and Brad Abrams is pretty comprehensive
regarding distributed libraries and conventions. Brad also posted up the
internal coding guideines on his blog at http://blogs.msdn.com/brada/articles/361363.aspx.
It includes sections (2.6 and 2.7) on naming conventions.

Beyond that, conventions are simply that and vary by designer and design
shop.

HTH.

I am hoping someone from Microsoft could shed some insight into this question. Why did microsoft decide to use a verb based naming convtion for events rather such as Close and Click for rather than prepending them with On as in OnClose and OnClick? The way it is now, I encounter a lot of naming conflicts/ambiguity when trying to follow Microsoft's reccommened approach in naming my own events.

I'm trying to come up with naming conventions for my company as we move to C#. I'm looking through the Naming Guidelines section on MSDN, but I'm unable to find a recommendation for class scope variables. Working with WinForms, I believe it would be helpful to have some type of prefix. In Visual Basic we used m_variableName. But I can't find any suggestions on this. Any help on this would be great. Thanks,

Does Microsoft have any naming guidelines for variables? I've been reading their guidelines for just about every other type (methods, parameters, properties, etc.) but nothing about variables. Are variables treated the same as parameters (i.e., camel case)? I notice that Hungarian notation is being done away with. Also, is it good practice to use an underscore to begin the name of a field? I've seen that, and it seems like a good idea,...

I was just wondering what naming convention most of you use for class variables. Underscore, "m_" prefix, camel case, capitalized, etc? Has one style emerged as the most popular? Thanks for any comments. --

Is it common practise to begin the name of form classes with "frm" (e.g., frmOneForm, frmAnotherForm). Or is that generally considered an outdated convention? If not "frm" what is a common or recommended practise? Thanks.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
