As Tom pointed out camel and Pascal casing are commonly used. I use camel casing for private objects (fields, properties, methods, and local variables). I use Pascal casing for protected/public objects (fields, properties, methods).
My style changes from time to time though; at one point I was prefixing private variables with an underscore.

On another note for notation...
I have read that Microsoft is dropping the idea of Hungarian notation for C#, all except for the i before the declaration of an interface.

Yes, hungarian notation is definitely being played down by MS. Of course, since we don't see any source code any more (unlike with MFC) it really doesn't matter

I don't think this means we should start naming our variables strNumber and iWord however.

My point was the opposite; that we are no longer bound by an underlying framework to accept that framework's naming conventions.

No problem Tom, let me ask you a question. Now that I see you have/are written/writing a book on Visual C++.NET, which language would you prefer to write an enterprise application in if asked to use the .NET Framework? Please don't say Fortran.NET or COBOL.NET
Nick Parker

Actually, the VC++ book is an MFC book. However, I've done enough in Managed Extensions that I would seriously think about combining MFC and Managed Extensions. MFC for the UI simply because I've used it for 10 years and ME for the cool classes .NET has to offer.
I'm not saying I would do that, but I'd give it some serious considerations under the right circumstances - especially if time was a major issue.

As far as I know there is an appendinx in C# specification. (You can find it in your .NET installation folder in C#/C# langugae specification.doc

Is it possible to define something like variables in methods which have static modifier:
C++ example:
<br />
void MyFun()<br />
{<br />
static int i = 0;
i++;<br />
}<br />
|
|
|
|
|
No it doesn't, static can only be applied to Methods, Properties, Fields, Operators, and Constructors.

What purpose would be served by making a local scope variable static?

Blast!!! Not that!!!!
I meant, I wanted to know how a static variable was going to be useful in a recursive function!!!

That's a lot of excitement Nish. Are you sure you're taking your Lithium like you're supposed to 
If you write a function that can call itself (a recursive function) one way to maintain state information is via static variables because they won't reinitilaize in the function's prolog.

I thought of that actually. But I thought since it was Tom Archer saying it, there ought to be a more complicated explantion to it
Didn;'t think that the obvious one would be the only one.

Sometimes even I can't over-complicate something Seriously, maintaining state information across call boundaries is the main reason for using static variables within a method.

Static variables sometimes are very usefull. You can use it or not... but in my opinion programmer should decided what he wants to use (in this case simply language dosn't support it - that's a pity)
Tomiga

The language supports class scope static variables; I don't see any reason why it should go any further. I have yet to see an instance, from an OOP standpoint, where it would beneficial to do otherwise.
