One-garian Notation

It depends on how broadly written the court order is... :((

That's just asking for a wet-kipper slap! :) I was going to suggest that itwould be better to camel the variable so:

DownloaderReporting downloaderReporting = 0;
downloaderReporting = DownloaderReporting.Normal;

But then the property's still going to be:

DownloaderReporting DownloaderReporting { get { return this.downloaderReporting; } }

Either way, things'll go kaka quicker then you can even punch an MS employee's face.

Maybe I'm not explaining myself very well ... Here are some examples:

  const string CServiceName = "Merlinia Process Manager";

  private delegate void DProcessProcessHasStopped(IntPtr processHandle);
  private DProcessProcessHasStopped \_processProcessHasStopped;

  
  private void InitializeCrossThreadInvocation()
  {
     \_processProcessHasStopped = ProcessProcessHasStopped;
  }

  
  private void CT\_ProcessProcessHasStopped(IntPtr processHandle)
  {
     base.InvokeDelegate(\_processProcessHasStopped, processHandle);
  }

This is part of a pattern in a class that supports cross-thread invocation of methods.

public enum EProcessStatus
{
ProcStopped,
ProcStarting, // Has been started, but has not reported "up and running"
ProcRunning,
ProcStopping // Has been signaled to stop, but not stopped yet
}

  public EProcessStatus ProcessStatus;

I bow to the expert in the field! Respect!

Yes, normally I would camelCase it, but it was just an example to show it can be done in C#. Normally I would call it reportingReason or similar as I would consider it too confusing to use the enum name as the name for an instance of that enum - it would be like saying

string string = "string";

and expecting no-one to laugh at you...

Question: what do you call a char *? char * pntrCharArray = "Char Pointer"; CString cstrString;

But, but, but .........

public enum EProcessStatus
{
ProcStopped,
ProcStarting, // Has been started, but has not reported "up and running"
ProcRunning,
ProcStopping // Has been signaled to stop, but not stopped yet
}

  public EProcessStatus ProcessStatus { get; set; }

surely?

I've always despised Hungarian notation, because it breaks a basic tenet of object-oriented programming: hide the implementation. Encoding the variable type in the name binds you to a specific implementation. I've never seen a Hungarian-ophile who was sufficiently rigorous about refactoring when they changed the type of a variable to always change the name at the same time. You end up with a variable named iFixedSize and another ulFixedSize, they refer to the same thing, and are declared to be unsigned long's.

OK, but my point is that you can't say this:

  public enum ProcessStatus
  {
     ProcStopped,
     ProcStarting,  // Has been started, but has not reported "up and running"
     ProcRunning,
     ProcStopping   // Has been signaled to stop, but not stopped yet
  }



  public ProcessStatus ProcessStatus { get; set; }

That gives a compiler error.
