Naming Conventions - Name Member Variables In .NET?
Jun 9, 2010I am generally not one to engage in subjective arguments over matters like variable naming, code formatting, etc. So I have no intention of starting an argument here.I just came across this (old) blog post which recommends not prefixing member variable names:
[Code]...
I get it: member variables can be lower camelCase, and public properties/methods can be PascalCase. But VB.NET is case-insensitive, so you can't really give a private member the same name as a public property except with a lower case first letter.I've generally prefixed member variables with an underscore, but I've been told that's not idiomatic.
So really I'm just curious: how do you name your member variables in VB.NET? And is there a "standard" way?
I'm not asking because I believe there's a "right" way or because I particularly want to change my style, and certainly not because I have any desire to tell others they're "wrong." Like I said, I'm just curious.
Class Private/Public Naming Conventions?
Mar 25, 2011I'm relatively new to .NET and am wondering how people handle naming their private variables and the public properties that access them. Like if you want to be able to just read it, but not write to it.
[Code]...
So far I've taken to putting a 'l' (for local) in front of the all the private variables so as to be able to use the full name for the property. Is there a better way around this, or do you just always have to have different names for private variable/public properties? If so, what sort of conventions do people use?
Its not a huge deal, its just a minor annoyance and I was wondering if I was missing something.

What Are The Conventions For Variable Naming In .NET To Avoid Confusion Between Parameters And Properties
Oct 21, 2010In the example below, what would you name the parameter given that it is used to initialize the property FromDate?For class constructor methods, I like to have the name of the constructor parameter variable match the name of the property which is being initialized. For example, the parameter "fromDate" is used to initialize the module level variable "_FromDate" with the statement _FromDate = fromDate. Likewise, I could have alternatively written Me.FromDate = fromDate.
Proponents of C#'s case sensitivity would probably say that using a leading lower cased letter for the param variable name, which I believe is MS convention, is an acceptable approach to distinguish it from the Property of the same name but different casing.
However, VB is not case sensitive, which I generally appreciate. In the following example, I am using a param name that matches the property name, 'fromDate," and VB refers to the local instance when there is ambiguity. However, many would probably argue that this "ambiguity" introduces the opportunity for the developer to get confused and not realize which variable is being used. For example, my intent below was to have TWO params passed in, "fromDate" and "toDate" but I accidentily ommited one and as a result, the VB.NET did not warn me of the mistake because it assumed that the statement _ToDate = ToDate was equivalent to _ToDate = Me.ToDate instead of informing me that the variable on the right side of the assignment statement was undeclared.
Public Class Period
Property FromDate As Date
Property ToDate As Date
[code]....
In my judgement, we should have a convention for prefixing all parameter variable with a prefix, but hasn't the use of prefixes been discouraged by Microsoft? For example:
Public Sub New(ByVal paramFromDate As Date, paramToDate As Date)
..or maybe it could be shortened to pFromDate, pToDate...
Variable Naming Conventions To Illustrate Variable Type And Where Variables Are Declared
Aug 24, 2009I am looking for a good resource on variable naming conventions to illustrate variable type and where variables are declared. So I will have public variables, Private variables, private or local variables. I also may want to declare variables with the same name in different class code (i.e. in the code behind different forms). I am assuming good coding would dicatate a prefix for declaration location.

C# - Static Checking For Framework Conventions?
Jan 27, 2012Is there a product/project that would allow you to define conventions for say an MVC Project to statically check for naming conventions like Controller being appended on the end of classes that inherit from controller and/or enforce a certain method signature when decorating a method with an attribute.I am basically looking for a way to kind of set up some guard rails for new developers coming onto our team where we have a clear set of conventions some of which are used to wire things up dynamically through reflection. Seeing that this reflection wire-up would fail because of an incompatible signature would be a huge boon to our ramp up process.Static/Compile time checking for broken rules Ability to target methods decorated with specific attributes (via RegEx or a Wizard)Different Sets of rules based on different types of projects.(example: A set of conventions for an MVC App, a different set for a Web Forms App, and a different set for a Class Library suffixed with .BLL)?
View 1 RepliesVS 2010 Proper Variable Declaration Conventions?
Jan 4, 2011I've been programming for many years in many languages and I've seen the variable declarations conventions change. With VS 2010 I've noticed you don't have to declare the variable type. I work alone so I can use any method I want. But, someday I may want to sell some of my code so I would like to keep my programming conventions current.
In VS 2010 which of these would be considered the best convention?
Dim srtFirstName = "Bob"
Dim strFirstName As String = "Bob"
Dim FirstName = "Bob"
Dim FirstName As String = "Bob"
Dealing With Different Coding Conventions/Styles In Visual Studio?
Sep 1, 2010I'm working on two different projects - both in VB.NET/Visual Studio 2008 (as much as I'd like to move to 2010).
I find I'm confusing the different coding standards that I'm supposed to follow. IE - Project1 wants variables named in a Hungarian-style notation like 'iSomeValue'; the does not want a prefix. One project requires an _ prefix on private class-level variables - etc...etc...
Are there any tools I can integrate with VS 2008 that will let me easily swap between pre-defined styles and format my code for me?

View 1 RepliesIDE :: Re-naming/re-using A Windows Service?
Oct 18, 2011I've created a VB.NET2010 stub service application with a bunch of common features that I'd like to be able to use repeatedly as the starting point for various more specialized projects.
For each spin-off project I want to be able to start with the stub and then rename the service "completely", so that each instance behaves as if it was created from scratch with its own unique name.
I've tried the steps below with limited success; the re-named service builds as wanted/needed, BUT it won't run because I can't add the new service name to the StartupObject pulldown list.
Change ServiceInstaller.ServiceName from stubName to newSvceName.

Object Naming Without Hungarian?
Apr 5, 2010Mostly because of reading this site, I'm trying to move away from Hungarian Notation. Or I guess the improper (system) Hungarian.

View 3 RepliesC# - Implement Column Self-naming From Its Index?
Mar 1, 2011I wish to be able to instantiate my Cell class while naming the cell instance with such name as "A", "B", "C", etc. just like in an Excel spreadsheet.
I have my Cell class like so:
public class Cell {
public Cell(Range nativeCell) {
NativeCell = nativeCell;
[Code].....
I would need to generate a name based on the alphabetic letters and double and triple them once I encounter the last alphabet letter 'Z'. The algorithm would have to generate the letters that I would concatenate with the rowIndex value that would result to this naming strategy such as Excel.
The letters would be:
A, B, C, D...Z, AA, AB, AC...AZ, BA, BB, BC...BZ, CA...XAA, XAB, XAC...
While we clearly know that colIndex value 1 will definitely designate column "A", value 2 = "B", value 3 = "C", etc.
My problem is particularly when we double the letters.
how I could achieve this in the simplest possible form?

Naming For Namespace / Class And Variables
Jul 7, 2009In the code below, the namespace is called "Navigation" which I think is correct. Then I have a class called "Heading", which by definition is the direction a person/vehicle is truly pointing towards. I think that is also named correctly. In the code below, I have four things I have named:
_WhatToName1, WhatToName2, WhatToName3, and WhatToName4.
The value that gets passed in and stored is a double between 0 and 360 -- essentially the degree value from a circle. For WhatToName3 and WhatToName4, I have seen a lot of places that just use "value" as the name. Is that standard?
Namespace Navigation
Public Class Heading
Private _WhatToName1 As Double
Public Sub New(ByVal WhatToName3 As Double)
Me.WhatToName2 = WhatToName3

Slow IDE - Faster Way Of Naming Controls?
Sep 21, 2010I have experienced this in both VB 2005 and 2008. First, design a form by placing your UI elements where you want them. Then, go back and start naming your controls the way you want them (i.e. "txtWhatever" instead of the default "TextBox1", etc.).I find that after you change the name of a control, there is a slight but annoying delay as VS IDE digests the fact that you changed the name, thus slowing down my workflow. I recall that this process was much more rapid-fire in the VB6 days - i.e. name one control, click the next one and start typing, boom-boom-boom.
Has this annoyed anyone else, and if so, have you found any kind of remedy to speed things up in this regard?

View 3 RepliesVS 2010 DataGridView Naming In Runtime?
Jan 7, 2011I'm creating an application that allows the user to create their own queries based on criteria in various list boxes and my idea was to produce the results of the SQL in a "new" DGV, which in turn will be created in a "new" TabPage in a separate form . Each time the user runs a query a new DGV and TabPage is created. I've named each "new" DGV based on a user textbox so each "new" DGV will be named differently. The problem is how do I reference each new DGV? At the moment I get-"the value of type 'Syst.cannot be converted to string"It allows me to name the DGV with a string, but not reference it!
Any ideas how I reference a DGV when its created in runtime.
