Question

I know that there are so many standards for writing code. And some policy tools (like FxCop) to check your writing statements.

What’s the best Hungarian notation or any other snippets for writing code?

Like:

• lbl in start of naming a Label

• txt in start of naming a TextBox

, etc.

Based on the answers, is it a good Idea to use Hungarian notation or not?

Answer 1

The Microsoft Framework Design Guidelines, under General Naming Conventions says:

Word Choice

Do choose easily readable identifier names. For example, a
property named HorizontalAlignment is
more readable in English than
AlignmentHorizontal.

Do favor readability over brevity. The
property name CanScrollHorizontally is
better than ScrollableX (an obscure
reference to the X-axis).

Do not use underscores, hyphens, or
any other nonalphanumeric characters.

Do not use Hungarian notation.

Hungarian notation is the practice of
including a prefix in identifiers to
encode some metadata about the
parameter, such as the data type of
the identifier.
