I have read so many docs about naming conventions, most recommending both Pascal and Camel naming conventions. Well, I agree to this, its ok. This might not be pleasing to some, but I am just trying to get you opinion why you name you objects and classes in a certain way.
What happened to this type of naming conventions, or why are they bad?
I want to name a struct, and i prefix it with struct. My reason, so that in IntelliSense, I see all the struct in one place, and anywhere I see the struct prefix, I know it's a struct:
structPerson
structPosition
anothe example is the enum, although I may not prefix it with "enum", but maybe with "enm":
enmFruits
enmSex
again my reason is so that in IntelliSense, I see all my enums in one place.
Because, .NET has so many built in data structures, I think this helps me do less searching. Please I used .NET in this example, but I welcome language agnostic answers.
