This is one of the reasons that I use underscore to prefix fields. They make it so much easier to spot.

I was not bitten by the same bug, but I started doing it a couple of months back. Reason? They're easier to spot. :)
Cheers, Vikram.

Properties are wonderful. I think Mr. Kentley has it right -- case sensitive languages are the problem.
Matt Gerrans
Properties (with appropriate gettors and settors) are excellent assets to the language. I would say case-sensitivity is also required. The good glue is a a good consistent programming standard (aka) coding standard which would make a cleaner reading of the code, finer debugging, elegant troubleshooting and expedited resolution to the problem.

Wow, I thought I was the only one left doing that. :cool:

Hehe, I'm still using m_ prefix in my code, for member variables. I got a fellow coworker who goes further and uses l_ prefix for local variables and p_ prefix for parameters... :doh:

I had a problem with a web application killing the dev server built in to VS2005 with stack overflow errors and I couldn't find the problem. I went so far as finding every for, foreach, and while loop and putting a counter in them that would throw an exception with the method name in the message if it looped over 1000 times (which none of the loops should do in this app). The problem all came down to one capitalization error that I didn't see even though I went step by step through execution with the debugger...
public string Name
{
get { return this.Name; }
}
private string name;Obviously the "this.Name" in the property should be "this.name". I felt like a moron when it was over.

Classic, it makes me think that it is about time the compiler warned you about this sort of tight recursion where there is no possible exit. :)

I even prefer the good old m_ prefix. MFC legacy.

That has happened to me a couple of times. It's Intellisense/Visual Assist fault, for completing the statement when I mean something else! :-D

I do this too (the m, l and p things). And even though camel case is widespread now, I find it too useful to drop it.
