We are about to undertake a large project with will require a bunch of VB 6
developers to learn VB.NET. I am looking for some documentation on what MS
recommends from a coding standards point. I thought I had seen some coding
standards/convensions docs floating around at some point.

Any help is appreciated.

Devin,

Being VB6 developers you were probably using the Hungarian Notation as MS have
backed that as their chosen standard (or a derivation of at least). But times
change and MS no longer suggest it - I can't remember where, but the VS.NET docs
mention this.

I personally use the Hungarian system, but we're just putting together a
company coding standard for .NET too and a friend sent me this link to the wiki
web about Hungarian Notation: http://www.c2.com/cgi/wiki?HungarianNotation

I was surprised that by the end I no longer thought HG was the best solution.
Have a read, they raise some excellent points for and against.

Daniel.

Here's a link to an MSDN article that I read when trying to come up with
naming conventions for my own coding:

    http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/dnvsgen/html/cfr.asp

I'd recommend that you read that and *definitely* read Code Complete:

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1556154844/forestlakewebser/

Code complete is like a bible of standards and conventions... Do read
it!

Together those references will provide you with a good idea of where to
head before making in big... Long lasting decisions.

Cheers,
Darren

I should've mentioned, there's also some excellent (FREE) stuff on MSDN:
