S2348 — Events should comply with a naming convention

Why is this an issue?

Shared coding conventions allow teams to collaborate efficiently. This rule checks that all even names match a provided regular expression.

The default configuration is the one recommended by Microsoft:

• Pascal casing, starting with an upper case character, e.g. BackColor
• Short abbreviations of 2 letters can be capitalized, e.g. GetID
• Longer abbreviations need to be lower cased, e.g. GetHtml

Noncompliant code example

With the default regular expression ^([A-Z]{1,3}[a-z0-9]+)*([A-Z]{2})?$:

Class Foo
    Event fooEvent() ' Noncompliant
End Class

Compliant solution

Class Foo
    Event FooEvent() ' Compliant
End Class
