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

I find that most of the time I care about what kind of information the control is for rather than what control type is currently being used to capture that data, so I prefer the type of information before the control type, so I can find it in a sorted list in the IDE:

• AgeRangeDropDownList
• AgreedToTermsCheckBox
• FirstNameTextBox
• LastNameTextBox

VS:

• chkAgreedToTerms
• ddlAgeRange
• txtFirstName
• txtLastName
