Subject:      OT: naming conventions

Hungarian Notation:
use list of variable name prefixes to indicate usage of a variable

Do I remember this set of prefixing rules from Visual Basic?

... oh, I haven't read any .net code, yet.

This came up in a discussion of naming conventions for macro variables
used in EG stored processes.

Personally I will agree with most of the "don't do this" at the bottom
of the article.

My style sheet would have these names with InitialAndInternalCaps.
