Naming Types - C# Coding Standard 5

If you check the .Net Framework code using some decompiler tool like Reflector, you can find all the code follows unique naming standards. This is because Microsoft follows unique naming standards and validates them with StyleCop tool. Here what are the different naming standards we need to follow while declaring any types in C#.

•             Declare types with easily readable names

•             Use widely used acronyms

•             Do not use underscores or hyphens or any other nonalphanumerics to declare types. Only exception to this, you can use underscore at start to declare private variables

•             Do not use Hungarian notation

•             Do not use abbreviations or contractions as part of identifier names

•             Use only PascalCasing for all identifiers except for parameter names and local variable names. PascalCasing means starting each name with capital letter
