With standard naming conventions is there ever a scenario that it is correct to use ID or OK in all capitals?
No. According to the .NET Framework design guidelines, the correct capitalization is
IdandOkas these are abbreviations, not acronyms.However, if you already have shipping DLLs which already use
IDorOKthen you should not change them as it will break consumers. Hence why the .NET Framework has some instances of these capitalizations, for example.
