  • 0

I have a lot developed in .NET windows forms and they are each named whatever they are with no prefixes. However, I often find myself needing to declare another class that contains the column names that the form uses.

For instance, I have a class called Address, which is a form for the maintenance of addresses. However, I also need a class that I’d like to also call Address that basically just contains the declarations of Name and Address fields. I am looking for a good naming convention to differentiate between the two (the class definition vs. the form).

    The normal convention for Windows Forms is to suffix the names of form classes with Form. So, your class for address should be called just Address (because, after all, it is an address), but the form that is used to edit addresses should be AddressForm (or AddressListForm, or AddressEditorForm, etc – depends on what exactly it does).
