Naming stuff...

Works fine in both C# and IL.
public class Whatever
private readonly string someValue;public Whatever(string someValue) { this.someValue = someValue; }}
ILDASM gives the following members (or whatever they are): .class public auto ansi beforefieldinit someValue : private initonly string .ctor : void(string) IL of ctor:
.method public hidebysig specialname rtspecialname
instance void .ctor(string someValue) cil managed
{
// Code size 16 (0x10)
.maxstack 8
IL_0000: ldarg.0
IL_0001: call instance void [System.Runtime]System.Object::.ctor()
IL_0006: nop
IL_0007: nop
IL_0008: ldarg.0
IL_0009: ldarg.1
IL_000a: stfld string ConsoleApp1.Whatever::someValue
IL_000f: ret
} // end of method Whatever::.ctorthis.someValue is just different from someValue and by using the full namespace or whatever they can easily be kept apart :) Just like you can have the same class name in multiple namespaces :)

dude, that's for a local variable. Local variables don't have names in IL! what i said applies to class and struct *members* :) like
class Base {
int foo;
}
class Derived :Base {
public int foo { get { return base.foo; } } // not allowed i think
}When I was growin' up, I was the smartest kid I knew. Maybe that was just because I didn't know that many kids. All I know is now I feel the opposite.

"That will never happen" - Some guy before it happened :laugh: It's the biggest lie we keep telling ourselves and a lie that has cost many a company a lot of time, effort and money. You'll get a foreigner in the team, you decide to leave the company, you land in the hospital and someone needs to take over, management decides a team in India is cheaper... All stuff that could happen tomorrow (let's hope that hospital equipment won't crash because someone used non-ASCII characters ;)). I'm thinking about tooling that can't process your project names. They may be tools from the 80's, who knows, but you'll still have to work with them. There's a difference between using proccusl (which is also just madness in this day and age) and using PröceßCüstømerLîst, at least the first can be processed by every human and program everywhere. I think all of us here have stories about applications that crashed because a file wasn't ASCII or UTF-8 or even BOM or whatever. The spaces are pretty annoying as well. I once used spaces in a project name, but quickly switched back once I had to use double quotes in practically every program I used with that application (like Azure DevOps, CLI tools, etc.). The real fun was in using it within another double quoted string, which forced me to use escaped double quoted strings, like cmd = "dotnet build "My project""... Ehhh... :sigh: I can only imagine the pain if that project name includes weird symbols as well, even if YOU can type them. Anyway, if you dislike your team so much because they're stuck in the 70's and 80's then why don't you find another job? I know plenty of places that aren't stuck in the past, but would make very short work of your naming conventions :)

If someone was using a class from a 3rd party library they wouldn't know what private fields are used. So if I name my private field "foo" that means another person's class that uses my library can't use the field "foo" - even a private field in their own derived class. This is why i prefix my private members with underscore - to make it less likely this will happen.

You're a foreigner yourself to about 99% of the world population. Foreigner != cheap and uncertified ;) And a lot of people still don't know that cheap usually isn't the best option either... Anyway, you make all good points, and when working in your own language, which is very convenient for domain specific terms, I guess it's difficult if your language isn't ASCII.

Interesting. With private fields it's no a problem at all. The base field simply isn't accessible from the derived class. The two fields are simply "BaseClass.someField" and "DerivedClass.someField". Things get different when you make the base class field public.
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
Console.WriteLine(new Derived().SomeValue);
Console.WriteLine(new Derived().BaseSomeValue);
}
}public class Whatever
{
public string someValue;
}public class Derived : Whatever
{
private string someValue;public Derived() { base.someValue = "Base someValue."; someValue = "Witch someValue?"; // using 'this' does nothing. } public string SomeValue => someValue; public string BaseSomeValue => base.someValue;}
This prints "Witch someValue?" and "Base someValue.", pretty much as you'd expect. Visual Studio only gives me a warning that someValue hides an inherited base member and that I should use the new keyword if hiding was intended. Basically, both are treated as separate variables, and settings someValue will not set someValue in the base class, neither will setting base.someValue do anything for someValue. Adding the new keyword gets rid of the warning, but doesn't seem to change anything. To get back to your specific example, same thing. new Derived().foo will point to the property, new Base().foo will point to the field (assuming you meant it to be public). And you get a warning that foo hides an inherited member so you should add the new keyword. All in all it's pretty confusing and best avoided :)

Let's see: You can call it foo or bar or fubar You can call me Ray or you can call me Day, or you can call me RayDay. You could put a number on the end. You could use an online theosaurus and find something that measn what you really want to call it. You could get one of those books of baby-names, boys names, girls names, etc, and just use the next name out of that. It works for hurricanes.

Now I see your problem with my non-English characters. Correct me if I'm wrong please. As far as I know, having your methods (on the server) called from clients all over the world isn't exactly uncommon making worldwide-compatible naming a hard requirement while in my case, it literally couldn't matter less as my customers get a compiled binary which, save for some places I've used RTTI, doesn't contain any names at all.

Yeah, I've done desktop development in the past and although I wouldn't want to go back it certainly has its merits. It's awesome that you can just update everything in your project without worrying something somewhere will break because it uses your API :laugh: Replace "old couples" with "desktop developers" and you know how I feel[^] ;p

While the comic is great, I can imagine having the pretty much same problems. Windows is an interesting example of itself, it's desktop-only (let's stick with client Windows), but Microsoft has a plethora of compatibility shims because desktop apps written for version X rely on quirks of version X and break when facing version X+1. The usual solution is to cleanly define the interface and simply not break it. The implementation can change, but who cares? Speaking from experience here, an externally-usable DLL is a part of my main product and I've changed it's guts several times in my time here, including one complete rewrite. Nobody cares because the outside stays the same. Isn't it the same in the server space? Publish an API, publish a documentation and simply don't break the API thus having all clients using it by the book not breaking? I don't have that much experience there, what's preventing web APIs from staying stable once published?

Yeah, that's basically how it goes. It's a bit difficult for SOAP, for example, because you can't just add new properties to your API (which is sometimes necessary). You must make sure they can be omitted, for example by making them nullable. It's easier for REST, which doesn't check the incoming message and just makes the best out of it (which also has its drawbacks). I always say, the best versioning is no versioning at all. Just make sure you don't break the API. But that assumes your API is perfect from the get-go, which it rarely is. My last big rework, for example, had an API which got a complete object from the client and then created object x and object y and added some of object z. Then came some functionality where we just had to add object z and also object y was no longer necessary... The best solution was really to break that complete API and rework all clients (which, luckily, was only one) :) I think the biggest problem, in comparison with (strongly-typed) desktop development, is that your API definition can change without the client side breaking. You just send message back and forth and try to make something of it at runtime. That's (sometimes) better with SOAP, but also not always (and I like REST better anyway). So even if you're very careful, but still make a mistake, you won't find out until you test that particular service call (which isn't a simple unit test) or until it breaks in production :) I've had the same problems with some late-bound desktop development, but usually you target a specific version of a DLL, so the API is known at design time and your build simply fails.

If it helps try and think of it like difference between how people are named in different parts of world. Like in the western countries there's usually a given name, followed by middle name (one of either mother or father) followed by family name. In Arabic countries it is common to find only one given name for the individual followed by an iterative ibn (meaning son of) or bint (daughter of) of all their ancestors. In south Asia there are usually two names, one given and one father's, occasionally you'd find a sect name before or after the two names. Or in some rare/unique cases as in mine you'd find three names with no relation to ancestors or sects. Just plain old names (all like first) brought together to create an ambigous meaning and make everyone in the family happy. P.S. my name translates to An Ancient Enlightened Lion. "Ancient" is the only word I can think of but the name translates to something that has been around before time. P.P.S. that rant was more for me than you, but you could still chose to see these differences and learn not to give a sh*t. :-)

It's not really the same though. I get that JavaScript has a different naming convention than .NET, and I gladly stick to them, but these are all Azure services :) Everything within a project, environment or company should be named as consistently as possible so you'll never have to think about that. I know it's a utopia to be completely consistent, but you should at least get it right in one product. So why does Azure not do that? And even worse, why oh why can it only allow lower case characters (and not even special characters) in 2019? :~ Abbas (name) - Wikipedia[^] My name comes from a power tool... Just kidding, it's a popular Dutch name (an actual sander is called a 'schuurmachine', which loosely translates to 'friction machine' or, of course, a sander) :) It comes from Alexander[^] which means something like "Defender of the People" :D

If only! Integration between existing systems require (rather force) you to adopt multiple naming conventions. Just as you have ideas for better naming conventions so does all the developers of these platforms. It's almost impossible for all these developers to agree on the same thing. Now if you were to build something from scratch where selection criteria for third party tools is dominated by naming conventions...! That wouldn't leave you much options. I agree there should be one universal naming convention for all languages, but that is simply impossible, not because it can't be done. But because everyone has different ideas about them and none of them wants to back down. I know I wouldn't! if I wrote something similar I'd defend it to the end of the Earth, i.e. until I fall off the edge.

I'm not even saying there should be one convention to rule them all, just that at least in a single product it should be. I love how ASP.NET handles it, on the .NET side I send
new { MyProperty = "Some value" }to the front-end and in JavaScript I magically get an object{ myProperty: "Some value" }. So I can use my PascalCasing in .NET, but I get my camelCasing in JavaScript, as things should be :) And it goes the other way around to!
