S2370 — Non-private "Shared ReadOnly" fields should comply with a naming convention

Why is this an issue?

Shared naming conventions allow teams to collaborate efficiently. This rule checks that all non-private Shared ReadOnly fields names match a provided regular expression.

The default configuration is:

• 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
    Public Shared ReadOnly foo As Integer  ' Noncompliant
End Class

Compliant solution

Class Foo
    Public Shared ReadOnly Foo As Integer  ' Compliant
End Class
