I know that private fields are first. Where should be placed other members according to C# code-style?

I mean: private/protected/internal/public fields/properties/methods/events.
I always placed events at the last part of class. I sometimes place private method near public property that use it. I don’t think it is right location, but i can’t choose the place for it and for a lot of other members.

    According to StyleCop (the style checker made by Microsoft), the correct ordering is:

    Adjacent elements of the same type
    must be positioned in the following
    order by access level:

    • public
    • internal
    • protected internal
    • protected
    • private

    – Rule SA1202

    You might also be interested in rule SA1201, which deals with the order of the types of elements (ie. Fields go first, then constructors, …).
