VB Naming Conventions
Under construction.
Please EMAIL me with your suggestions: michael@michael-thomas.com
VB Hungarian Notation:
Standard variables: begin in lower case with the "scope"
prefix, then the "variable type", then using upper and lower case a descriptive
meaning.
Constant variables: follow the stard variable guidelines except
that all of the characters are upper case.
Functions: begin in lower case with the return variable type, then
upper and lower to describe the function.
Examples:
gintNumOfEmp - means global scope, integer variable type,
that has the value of the number of employees.
function strSearchReplace - this is a function that returns a string.
