What are the naming guidelines for ASP.NET controls?

Question

We are in the process of nutting out the design guidelines we would like to use in our development team and got into a discussion today around how ASP.NET controls should be

Answer 1

Not sure about Microsoft official standards, but this is what i've done through out my development career.

I generally abbreviate the control type in front of the the name of what the control does. I keep the abbreviation lower case and the control's name CamelCase.

E.g. A texbox for username becomes tbUserName

Here is a list of standard abbreviations I use:

Abbr     -  Control

btn  -  Button
cb   -  CheckBox
cbl  -  CheckBoxList
dd   -  DropDownList
gv   -  GridView
hl   -  Hyperlink
img  -  Image
ib   -  ImageButton
lbl  -  Label
lbtn -  LinkButton
lb   -  ListBox
lit  -  Literal
pnl  -  Panel
ph   -  PlaceHolder
rb   -  RadioButton
rbl  -  RadioButtonList
txt  -  Textbox
