I don't even remember where we came up with using "m_" ... maybe a holdover from the old FoxPro days with the "m." syntax. <g>

>Yeah, I couldn't agree more (re: being consistent). I actually find it a little disconcerting to not have a definite naming convention worked out yet in .NET. I like the idea of easy to understand visual clues of "what" a variable is. Not just in the sense of what it represents, but its type. I haven't found anything I've been really happy with yet, so I like to hear what other developers have been doing.
