Naming Convention:

    Basicaly three types of naming conventions are used in C#, Camel, Pascal and Hungarian.

We should use PascalCasing for class names and method names:

Example:

public class ClientActivity
{
    public void ClearStatistics()
    {
        //...
    }
}

We should use camelCasing for method arguments and local variables:

Example:

public class UserLog
{
    public void Add(LogEvent logEvent)
    {
        int itemCount = logEvent.Items.Count;
        // ...
    }
}

We should not use Hungarian notation as it is no longer used in C#.

Note:-> Always use proper and meaningful names for declaring variables, method arguments, Classes, etc. for good readability of the code.

Example:

// Incorrect
int iCounter;
string strName;

Coding Standards:

1. Do not write constant with capital letters.

Example:

// Incorrect
public static const double PIE = 3.14;

2. Avoid using abbreviations.

Example:

// Incorrect
UserGroup usrGrp;

3. Avoid using Underscores in declaring identifiers.

Example:

// Incorrect
public DateTime client_Appointment;

We can use Underscore in declaring private static variables.

4. Prefix I with the name of the interfaces.

Example:

public interface IShape
{
}

5. Use proper indentation. (Ctrl+K+D) is a shortcut key to provide indentation in Visual Studio.

Example:

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

6. Declare static variables at top of the class.

Example:

public class Account
{
    public static string BankName;
    public static decimal Reserves;

    public string Number {get; set;}


    // Constructor
    public Account()
    {
        // ...
    }
}

7.Use singular names for enum.

Example:

public enum Color
{
    Red,
    Green,
    Blue,
    Yellow,
    Magenta,
    Cyan
}

8. Donot suffix names of the enum with "Enum".

Example:

// Incorrect
public enum CoinEnum
{
    Penny,
    Nickel,
    Dime,
    Quarter,
    Dollar
}

9. Use predefined type names instead of system type names.

Example:

//Correct
int lastIndex;

//Incorrect
Int32 lastIndex;

10.Always declare namespaces with a clearly defined structure.

Example:

namespace Company.Product.Module.SubModule
