Adherence to the standard naming conventions makes your code not only more readable, but more usable. For instance, class FirstAttribute :
Attribute
can be used simply with First
, but you must use the full name for class AttributeOne : Attribute
.
This rule raises an issue when classes extending Attribute
, EventArgs
, or Exception
, do not end with their
parent class names.
Noncompliant code example
class AttributeOne : Attribute // Noncompliant
{
}
Compliant solution
class FirstAttribute : Attribute
{
}
Exceptions
If a class' direct base class doesn’t follow the convention, then no issue is reported on the class itself, regardless of whether or not it
conforms to the convention.
class Timeout : Exception // Noncompliant
{
}
class ExtendedTimeout : Timeout // Ignored; doesn't conform to convention, but the direct base doesn't conform either
{
}
