    According to MS standards your code is OK. Having prefixes as m_ is not really necessary when you have advanced IDE. However short prefix like _ can be used to take advantage of auto complete feature to quickly sort out class members.

    I would recommend you to get a copy of “Framework Design Guidelines: Conventions, Idioms, and Patterns for Reusable .NET Libraries” book to learn more on MS standards
