Coding Standards for C#?

Posted by Cliff on from the mature-programming-guidelines-for-a-young-language dept.

infinite9 asks: "I've been given the task of writing the coding standards for my corporation. I've been in IT for 12 years, so many things are obvious. Recently though, my employer has standardized on C# and .NET, and since I'm new to the technology (isn't everyone?) I'm not sure what to include. I've included a paragraph about signing assemblies with a standard key pair as well as a few other odds and ends. Apart from the obvious statements that apply to any language like good comments, good variable names, and maintainable code, can anyone suggest other C#/.NET related things that I should include?"

    It doesn't really matter what coding standards you implement, as long as something consistent is used. And that doesn't really matter much either.

    Microsoft will probably innovate a new language syntax soon, my guess would be C##. It will undoubtedly be more scalable, secure, robust and less prone to errors. And it'll automatically be included in the latest version of Windows, but not be compatible with previous versions due to architecture limitations.

    Personally, I'm holding out for that version. I'm going to push my company to standardize on that version. Because it just makes good business sense.

    We need a moderation for Sarcastic!
