Capitalization conventions C# with Example



Capitalization conventions C# with Example

The following terms describe different ways to case identifiers. 
Pascal Casing 
The first letter in the identifier and the first letter of each subsequent concatenated word are capitalized. You can 
use Pascal case for identifiers of three or more characters. For example: BackColor 
Camel Casing 
The first letter of an identifier is lowercase and the first letter of each subsequent concatenated word is capitalized. 
For example: backColor 
Uppercase 
All letters in the identifier are capitalized. For example: IO 
Rules 
When an identifier consists of multiple words, do not use separators, such as underscores ("_") or hyphens ("-"), 
between words. Instead, use casing to indicate the beginning of each word. 
The following table summarizes the capitalization rules for identifiers and provides examples for the different types 
of identifiers: 
Identifier Case Example 
Local variable Camel carName 
Class Pascal AppDomain 
Enumeration type Pascal ErrorLevel 
Enumeration values   Pascal FatalError 
Event Pascal ValueChanged 
Exception class Pascal WebException 
Read-only static field Pascal RedValue 
Interface Pascal IDisposable
