| I think you can figure out what these are for. If not, then they are bad naming conventions eh?txtdd or cbolstdgbtnchkrdolnkMichael<Yoda>Use the Search page you must. Find the answer you will.</Yoda> |

Hmm most of those comments say they stick to the conventions...Does that article reflect on actual widgets (controls)or procedures / modules...Cause the MS article doesn't really state that...and I did notice that most people still use some kind of naming convention.Maybe Ill have to dig this out of my Unleashed book.Thanks all |

| I think Tara is right that they are getting away from Hungarian notation since everything is an object and has a type. I like using the prefixes so I can see at a glance what type of object it is. This is handy when e-mailing code snippets that are ourside of the IDE. Also, I've been adding prefixes to stuff for so long, I'm just used to it I guess.Michael<Yoda>Use the Search page you must.

| Yes a lot of people are sticking with the "old ways". So it's up to you. Follow the standard that MS has proposed or the old way.Tara |

| ok read this:"When you read that MS frowns on Hungarian notation for classes, they are talking about just that the class name, not the instance name.I think you will find that the use of naming notations with controls is still very much alive (remember a control that you use on your form is not the class (TextBox), but an instance of a class (txtUser)."I think some people are sticking to it...have to look around for how ASP.net controls are prefixed though |

| Yes, I agree with that. I don't call a class cObjectName, it's always just ObjectName.Michael<Yoda>Use the Search page you must. Find the answer you will.</Yoda> |
