I find most .NET language programmers avoid our Foxpro habit of indicating data type with a prefix. I guess with strong typing and intellisense it is a lot less necessary.
By now I've trained myself to avoid using type, class, object etc as field names of any kind. Just more trouble than it is worth. ( broke the "class" habit in VFP as I was writing a lot of school software - started using "course" ) Best way seems to be to extend the word - ActionType, AcademicClass etc.

Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.

Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
