Fields
Recommendation
Use PascalCasing for const and public fields.
Use _camelCase for internal and private fields.
Prefix static fields with s_.
Prefix [ThreadStatic] fields with t_.
Justification
The .NET Runtime Coding Style guidelines state:
We use
_camelCasefor internal and private fields and usereadonlywhere possible. Prefix internal and private instance fields with_, static fields withs_and thread static fields witht_.
Public fields should be used sparingly and should use PascalCasing with no prefix when used.
We use PascalCasing to name all our constant local variables and fields.
Arguments
Performance
Exceptions
The .NET Runtime Coding Style guidelines state:
The only exception is for interop code where the constant value should exactly match the name and value of the code you are calling via interop.
