overview of postfix vb variable notation

[RB Smissaert]

Could somebody tell me where I could find a list of all the postfix vb
variable coding conventions.
I mean the $ postfix for string, the % postfix for integer etc.

INFO: Type Declaration Character to Data Type Chart

Thanks.
I was thinking about getting into a consistent routine to name variables and
maybe use the postfix type declaration characters. As there are no
characters for boolean, byte and date I suppose there is little point in
doing that.

Do most people use the Hungarian notation as described in:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/archive/default.asp?url=/archive/en-us/dnarvb4/html/msdn_vbconvns.asp
and would there be any point in using the the postfix type declaration
characters?
I understand you could use the Hungarian notation and use the the postfix
type declaration characters.
Thanks for any advice.

Here's another viewpoint on naming conventions. To me, it's a matter
of personal preference and/or what others who must deal with your code
prefer. As long as you are consistent, .............
