I found this great .NET Naming Convention guide from Josh Twist at The Joy Of Code.
Reading it, I decided to put it up here, since it is so great, and it’s the naming convention that I follow myself.
using System;
// Namespaces are PascalCased
namespace TheJoyOfCode.NamingConventions
{
// Class names are PascalCased
public class ExampleClass
{
// All public fields, including constants are PascalCased
public static const string PiAsAString = "3.14";
// All private fields are camelCased with an underscore [1]
private readonly string _privateMember;
// All protected members are PascalCased
protected int ProtectedField = 12;
// All internal members are PascalCased
internal int InternalField = 13;
// All private methods are PascalCased
// *** NOTE – All parameters are camelCased
private double Multiply(double valueA, double valueB)
{
// local variables (scoped within a method) are camelCased (no underscore)
double result = valueA * valueB;
return result;
}
// All private Properties are PascalCased
// *** NOTE – Acronyms of 2 characters are UPPERCASED (e.g. UI, IO)
private string UIElementName { get; }
// All (public and private) properties are PascalCased
// *** NOTE – Acronyms longer than 2 characters are PascalCased (e.g. Html, Xml)
public int HtmlLength { get; set; }
// All public methods are PascalCased
// *** NOTE – All parameters are camelCased
// *** NOTE – Abbreviations are not treated as Acronyms (so _Id_entification is Id, not ID).
private void AlignObjectById(string id, Alignment alignment)
{
throw new NotImplementedException();
}
// Nested classes are PascalCased, even Private ones
private class NestedClass : IDisposable
{
public void Dispose()
{
throw new NotImplementedException();
}
}
}
// Enums are PascalCased and not plural (unless marked [Flags] in which case the name should be plural)
public enum Alignment
{
// Enum members are PascalCased
Top,
Bottom,
Left,
Right,
}
}
// [1] – Note the underscore isn’t as recommended by StyleCop but since it applies only to private members, can be considered a matter of style and one that I personally use.
And, the last comment is also 100% on the spot;
…and as for #region blocks I do not use regions and I don’t negotiate with terrorists either.
