Paul van Brenk.com - The new hungarian?

Tuesday, May 11, 2004

Early Adopter noticed a new naming convention for controls in the latest community preview of Whidbey:

Goodbye txtUserName, hello UserNameTextBox?

I find the second option to be more readable and more inline with the coding-conventions. You don't use strUserName anymore either, do you?

Actually this naming convention is all but new, hungarian notation went out the window the moment .NET arrived. Well, unless you're still using VB.NET ofcourse.
