textBoxEmployeeName vs employeeNameTextBox

Question

Which naming convention do you use and why?

I like to use employeeNameTextBox, because:

• It seems more natural from an English language perspective.

Answer 1

WPF-specific Answer: No name at all.

Why? Because if you're developing using WPF you should not be naming your controls. If you are, you are doing something wrong.

WinForms required controls to be named because its data binding was so weak. WPF solves all that: The control itself can specify its data and behavior, so there is no need to name it.
