Question

this might be a very very basic question, but what is the best way to name my forms?
I mean, can I use spaces or will that give me problems later on?

Example
Should I use “Logged on Popup” or “Logged_on_Popup”?

Thanks!

Answer 1

Don’t use spaces. Or Underscores. Microsoft do have some naming conventions that they recommend. Whilst they don’t specifically have any recommendations re: form naming, they may be quite a good read:

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.

Also, bear in mind that the name used in your code isn’t exposed to the end users – whereas the captions of your forms are – make sure that those captions are well chosen.
