Naming convention for keys in resource files

Hi,

Microsoft provided some naming conventions for namespace, classes,
properties and etc. However I am looking for naming convention for keys in
resource files for multiple languages. Any ideas?

Thanks

Hi Joey,

I don't know it this would help. I usually create a helper class for
extracting resources from resx files. I define an enumeration with keys for
each entry in the resx, and would pass that enumeration to a method in the
helper class, which would call the enum.ToString and fetch the required value.

In other words, the resx files keys would have the same name as that of the
enum constants. Consequently, the naming conventions for my resx entries
follow the standards for enumerations.

sorry if this is OT, not sure if it is since it is a C++ q, sort of :). I am working on a C++ library where all the files use the 8.3 convention. I am now adding some collection classes. The typical library convention for naming files is something like: header ==> sfxmem.h source ==> memory.cpp where multiple memory classes are thrown into.

stupid question time again to most of you experts but this is something that continually bothers me.

I am trying to localise my app using embedded resource and sattellite assemblies. I can get it working using the following if I have a resource file with the same name as the class: ResourceManager resourceManager = new ResourceManager(this.GetType()); However, I want to use a global resource for my assembly.

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 Or is that generally considered an outdated convention?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.

Okay, I hear you saying 'not another naming conventions thread'. I've read through Google and the 'naming conventions' threads were rather *spelling conventions* threads. I'm not interested in camelCase versus camel_case or anything mentioned in 'PEP 8 -- Style Guide for Python Code'. What I'm looking for is hints or ideas how to name your variables and especially how to name functions, methods and classes.

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

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
