Why is this an issue?
Shared coding conventions allow teams to collaborate efficiently. This rule checks that all Private field names match the provided
regular expression.
Note that this rule does not apply to Private Shared ReadOnly fields, which are checked by another rule.
The default configuration is:
- Optionally, can start with an underscore character or "s_", e.g.
_foo,s_foo - Camel casing, starting with a lower case character, e.g. backColor
- Short abbreviations of 2 letters can be capitalized only when not at the beginning, e.g. "id" in productID
- Longer abbreviations need to be lower cased, e.g. html
Noncompliant code example
With the default regular expression ^(s_|_)?[a-z][a-z0-9]*([A-Z]{1,3}[a-z0-9]+)*([A-Z]{2})?$:
Class Foo
Private Foo As Integer ' Noncompliant
End Class
Compliant solution
Class Foo
Private foo As Integer ' Compliant
End Class
