That was my perception since I started to work in .NET. This is exactly what I said at first. I also asked the question to professionals in the business and there does not seem to be something to do about it. In most of the samples I have seen on the net, as you said, there is nothing about naming convention. Basically, I have seen variables and properties such as I, J, DataAdapter, Row and things like that. The scope and the type of the variables and properties are not defined. It makes it very difficult to isolate where that belongs to and what it is used for. Some have a naming convention and some not. For me, I kept the Hungarian Notification as was used in VFP and I am very happy to have it as is in the framework and to whatever standards I am teaching in corporate environments. I do not say it is the best but at least we know what we are talking about. Thanks to Flash Creative Management for having brought that to the VFP world. I can now use it wherever I want and feel very comfortable with that. Others might use something else, I just don't care. As long as everyone is happy with what they are using and as long as they understand what it is, then all is ok.
