Naming conventions

While creating a big application is very important to have rules which let us not got confused when we have to correct this application couple months later. To help myself I decided to create a list which includes the most often used components and my names to recognize them.

• private fields start from: "_" + first letter is lower-case (Camel Case)

string _myField;

• properties start from: upper-case letter (Pascal Case)

string MyField;

• local objects : first letter is lower-case (Camel Case)
  

string myField;

• namespace I start from jurczyk.jarek next I add another clause like:

tools.
classes.
controls.
...

• Methods name I write in Pascal Case I mean the first letter of each word is upper-case:

DoSomethingForMe();

• constants name I write in upper-case like:

const string MYCONSTANT;

Controls name:
