Question

In VB.NET, what is the MS standard for naming local variables, Camel or Pascal casing?

For example

 Sub X()
      Dim myVariable As Integer
 End sub

or

Sub X()
  Dim MyVariable As Integer
End Sub

Answer 1

From the guidelines (under Names of Fields):

The naming guidelines for fields apply to static public and protected fields. You should not define public or protected instance fields. For more information, see Field Design.

Do use Pascal casing in field names.

Do name fields with nouns or noun phrases.

Do not use a prefix for field names. For example, do not use g_ or s_ to distinguish static versus non-static fields

The guidelines say nothing about private fields, though all examples seem to be using camel casing.

Nor do the guidelines say anything about local variables, though all examples also seem to be using camel casing.
