Shared coding conventions allow teams to collaborate efficiently. This rule checks that all namespace 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. Microsoft, System
- Short abbreviations of 2 letters can be capitalized, e.g. System.IO
- Longer abbreviations need to be lower cased
Noncompliant code example
With the default regular expression: ^([A-Z]{1,3}[a-z0-9]+)*([A-Z]{2})?(\.([A-Z]{1,3}[a-z0-9]+)*([A-Z]{2}))*$
Namespace foo ' Noncompliant
End Namespace
Compliant solution
Namespace Foo ' Compliant
End Namespace
