I do Hungarian notation so instinctively it is hard to wean myself from it, but it is pretty cool to be able to jump immediately to the declaration.

And I don't know if it is native VS 2008 or Resharper but when I hover over a property or variable I see tooltip with the declaration showing data type.

Field names I am still wrestling with, but since a lot of the data I'm using now is converted from DBCs to SQL I kept the names. I do notice that most .NET developers don't seem to miss a character for data type.

Because we use hungarian notation. It's an incredible aid to software maintenance, which after all is 60% of the development cost, over lifetime.
