Use mixed case fileName, makes them much easier to read.

Actually, in this case I find filename easier to read than fileName.

filename.
However, in public APIs, I name properties FileName and UserName in keeping with Microsoft's convention.

Properties would start with a capital-letter, but a variable wouldn't 
Locals are usually Pascal-cased.

Yes, I know. I was referring to the case of the letters within the identifier. I thought that was blindingly obvious.

With programmers, nothing is "obvious" unless it's in the specs. I assumed that everyone would simply follow the guidelines from Microsoft, making this a non-question.

Probably a dumb question, but where can I find the Microsoft guidelines for this?

It's not, but I'm glad to see that you rather make a "dumb" impression and get an answer than look intelligent and move on without one.

VS' Code Analysis' built-in dictionary checks your identifiers for spelling, grammatical case and other naming conventions of the .NET Framework guidelines. It's a great a way to gets started, and it's easy to modify/override spellings and naming conventions where necessary.

So, ummm... explain why Hashtable and DataTable don't agree.

I'm not an employee, and I didn't claim it was consistent. It is however, always a good starting place for ideas, and a good place to end discussions.

Mostly filename
But that's because I had to forcibly break myself of using strFilename...

Did you used to have lots of lngFilename or blnFilenames as well?

I saw a variable declared as longAss. Ass was short for assignment no.

That'd be a bigAss in Sql Server types

In this case, path. This is in keeping with Microsoft's convention for naming files.
|
|
|
|
|
now do you use "filepath" or "filePath"?

Fed up by FireFox memory leaks I switched to Opera and now CP doesn't perform its paste magic, so links will not be offered. Sorry.

What if it doesn't have a path, just the name of the file itself?
|
|
|
|
|
fileName and filenameAndPath.
Meh..
..is that with or without extension? A UNC-path, or local?

Then just filename. It's a standard concatenation and MS is fairly clear on naming for contractions like this; all lower case.
