.NET Naming Guidelines. Please, need advice.

[shapper]

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.
