Sharing some naming conventions is a key point to make it possible for a team to efficiently collaborate.
This rule allows to check that all interface names match a provided regular expression.
The default configuration is the one recommended by Microsoft:
- Must start with an upper case 'I' character, e.g. IFoo
- Followed by Pascal casing, starting with an upper case character, e.g. IEnumerable
- Short abbreviations of 2 letters can be capitalized, e.g. IFooID
- Longer abbreviations need to be lower cased, e.g. IFooHtml
Noncompliant code example
With the default regular expression ^I([A-Z]{1,3}[a-z0-9]+)*([A-Z]{2})?$
:
Interface Foo ' Noncompliant
End Interface
Compliant solution
Interface IFoo ' Compliant
End Interface
