Coding Standards

Today i am going to explain Coding standards:-
Following points need to be consider while doing code:-

1). Global variables or Class-level variables must always starts with m_ or _(underscore) i.e.

private string m_employee_name = string.empty.
    private bool m_is_edit = false;
    private int _employee_id = 0;

by defining global variables with m_/_ meaning any body can understand variables are defined as global.

2). Local variables or Function-level variables :- should be defined as simple as we define inside method such as

string employee_name = string.empty.
int employee_id = 0;

3). Private Method(s) :- First character of all words,except the first word are Upper Case and other characters are lower case.

For example:-

private string getValues(int id) //without underscore
 {
 }

//Or

 private string get_Values(int id)
 {
 }

4). Public Method(s) :- First character of all words will be in Upper Case and other characters will be in lower case.

For example:-

 public string GetValues(int id) //without underscore
 {
 }

//Or

 public string Get_Values(int id)
 {
 }

5). Constants :- These are defined with all characters in Upper case.
For exp:-

public const STATUS_ACTIVE = "AA";
              public const STATUS_DEACTIVE = "DD";
              public string EMPLOYEE_NAME = "EMP_NAME";

6). Proper Name(Variable/Controls) :- Always give proper name to variables to understand such as int emp_it = 0; or int

employee_id = 0;
controls name like TextBox id will start as 
txt_employee_name
txt_employee_address
chk_employee_status -> Checkbox
ddl_employee_code  -> Dropdownlist
gd_employee_details -> Gridview

and do same for all controls.

7). Class/Structure -> Give proper name such as

    public class Employee_Master
    public class Project_Master
    public structure Position_Master

8). Properties :- Must be declared as First character will always be in capital case as shown below

    public string Employee_Name
    {
      get{return m_employee_name;}
      set{m_employee_name = value;}
    }

9). Enumeration :- Proper name as

Enum Priority
    {
      Low = 0,
      Medium = 1,
      High = 2
    };

//Or

Enum Priority
    {
      Low,
      Medium,
      High
    };

If we do not assign a value in enum, then enum by-default start with 0 index.

10). For Loop :- give proper or meaningful variables name in loop to understand as

for(int index = 0; index<=gd_employee_master.rows.count-1;index++)
     {}

     //Or
     for(int counter = 0; counter <=gd_employee_master.rows.count-1;counter ++)
     {}

By applying above approach, you can be a good coder
