Question

Is there any standard naming convention for VB.NET ?

Are there any guides for this kind of good practice besides patterns & practices Guidance Explorer and Guidance Share ?

As Mehrdad said, VB.NET follows the General .NET naming conventions. More specificly:

• Types, events, read-only static fields, methods, namespaces, properties: PascalCase
• Parameters: camelCase
• Acronyms of two characters: DB, with the exception of Id and Ok
• Acronyms of three or more characters: Html or html, depending on context, but never HTML
• Compound words: Hashtable, not HashTable, except for some common terms like FileName
• Do not use separators like hyphens (-) or underscores (_) between words
• Do not use Hungarian notation
