I wanted to get a feel. The documentation gives naming conventions for
public/protected members. Is this truly widely adopted?
And what about using the same conventions for private members and
variables?
My coding preference is to use this everywhere (banish Hungarian and
follow the capitalization rules) but I need to sell it to team
members.

Pretty widely, yes.
And what about using the same conventions for private members and variables?
I personally do, yes - but it's less widely followed than the
public/protected one is.

I certainly haven't seen any particularly good reasons *not* to, and I
find code without prefixes etc much more readable. The only thing you
need to beware of (IME) is making sure that your properties access the
variable, rather than recursing, eg:
// Careful of this
int foo;
public int Foo
{
get { return Foo; }
set { Foo = value; }
}
// ... you want this instead
int foo;
public int Foo
{
get { return foo; }
set { foo = value; }
}
However, it's very easy to find such problems, and I can only remember
doing it once myself.

private variables should always start with a lowercase letter (some people
are swearing on a leading underscore to distinguish between variable and
property).
but naming conventions for private stuff is not so important since it is not
part of your api,
and naming changes in private members does not affect client code.
anyway, one should always follow naming conventions, public or private.

Hi there,
I keep finding myself getting inconsistent with naming conventions for
things like member variables, class names etc and I just want to find
something that suits me and stick to it. I am wondering if there are
any naming conventions around that are deemed suitable by the general
C++ community. I have googled around and I can't find much - mostly
long lists of hungarian-like prefixes which is not really what I'm
after.

MS recommends keeping Hungarian notation off parameters for
public/protected methods. Is the best practice to do so for private as
well? It seems that consistency would indicate all should be
non-Hungarian, but I'm not sure how well-adopted the "no Hungarian on
parameters" is.
And for variable naming, is Hungarian still regularly used, or has
that been abandoned as well?
Thanks.

Ive seen a couple of articles, but there always seems to be a bit missing. I
also always seem to run into conflicting convensions both in code samples
