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 tend to go with the control type as a prefix and the name of the control afterwards but I always CamelCase so in your example for different types of controls you might have..

• TxbFirstName
• DdFirstName
• ChbFirstName

For intellisense reasons I also always fully qualify the name of the control so I wouldn't do any of the following...

• TxbFName
• TxbClientNo
• TxbNoOfCpn

But ultimately down to personal preference
