Shared naming conventions allow teams to collaborate efficiently. This rule checks that all subroutine and function names match a provided regular
expression.
The default configuration is the one recommended by Microsoft:
- Pascal casing, starting with an upper case character, e.g. BackColor
- Short abbreviations of 2 letters can be capitalized, e.g. GetID
- Longer abbreviations need to be lower cased, e.g. GetHtml
- Event handlers with a handles clause and two-parameter methods with
EventArgs second parameter are not covered by this rule.
Noncompliant code example
With the default regular expression ^([A-Z]{1,3}[a-z0-9]+)*([A-Z]{2})?$
Module Module1
Sub bad_subroutine() ' Noncompliant
End Sub
Public Function Bad_Function() As Integer ' Noncompliant
Return 42
End Function
End Module
Compliant solution
Module Module1
Sub GoodSubroutine() ' Compliant
End Sub
Public Function GoodFunction() As Integer ' Compliant
Return 42
End Function
End Module
