Wouldn't it be nice?

If all WebForms controls were prefixed 'web' and all WinForms controls were
prefixed ''win' (and were otherwise named the same?)

Sure, it'd be nice. But it would also be nice if Microsoft listened to
everyday developers when designing this crap.

We can dream, can't we?

The Microsoft naming conventions are carefully considered by an experienced
team of designers and architects. They follow their naming conventions
strictly, giving a uniform naming style to all classes in the .Net
Framework. This means that, once you are familiar with the naming
conventions, it should be trivial to understand what the name of any given
class indicates about that class, and this includes the NameSpace in which
it resides. ASP.Net UI controls are all in the System.Web.UI NameSpace, and
specifically under 2 NameSpaces under that, System.Web.UI.WebControl, and
System.Web.UI.HtmlControl, which defines the basic characteristics shared by
all of them. Similarly, Windows Forms Controls all fall under the
System.Windows.Forms NameSpace.

Yes Kevin, I know where they live etc, I have been using .NET from beta 1

however I would much rather have controls called winGridv1, WinGridv2,
WebGridv2 etc. rather than all these DataGrid, DataGridView and such like

Unfortunately, Microsoft doesn't design the .Net platform for your pleasure
alone. You have my sympathies.
