C# Coding Standards and Naming Conventions

1. use PascalCasing for class names and method names.


public Class TestClass
{
       public void TestMethod()
      {
           //--------------
      }
}

2 use camelCasing for method arguments and local variables.

public Class TestClass
{
       public void TestMethod(UserDetail userDetail)
      {
           int usersCount=userDetail.items.count
            //-----
      }
}

3. use PascalCasing for abbreviations 3 characters or more (2 chars are both uppercase)

    HtmlHelper htmlHelper;
    FtpTransfer ftpTransfer;
    UIControl uiControl;

Why: consistent with the Microsoft's .NET Framework. Caps would grap visually too much attention.

4. use predefined type names instead of system type names like Int16, Single, UInt64, etc
       

    // Correct
    string firstName;
    int lastIndex;
    bool isSaved;
   
    // Avoid
    String firstName;
    Int32 lastIndex;
    Boolean isSaved;


5. use noun or noun phrases to name a class.

    public class Employee
    {
    }
    public class BusinessLocation
    {
    }
    public class DocumentCollection
    {
    }


6. vertically align curly brackets.

    // Correct
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
        }
    }
