The MSDN documentation on .NET standards and best practises is certainly comprehensive, but as a starting point it’s overwhelming. Naming conventions vary from organisation to organisation, and I am never happy committing hundred page, or more, tomes of (often) fiercely protected “standards” to memory.
I much prefer automated ‘code review’ tools which help maintain such standards, e.g. Enterprise Templates, FX Cop and the brilliant Compuware DevPartner Studio. This download is therefore a readily consumable list of the essential .NET naming conventions, good for initial developer orientation, that is (pretty much), industry standard.
