Style guide for c#? [closed]

Question

I like style guide used by google for c++, published here . Is there any similar style guide available for c# also? I'm looking for more of good practices along with simple things like naming just like in google style guide for c++.

Answer 1

I have found IDesign to be one of the most comprehensive coding standards documents around. It covers things like naming conventions and other best practice elements. You can download a copy from here: IDesign C# Coding Standard

Answer 2

See if ICSharpCoding guideline helps you. Otherwise if you are telling that you liked Google's C++ guideline, you can adopt it. Main point is that entire team is agreeing to it and following it.

Microsoft has finally published C# Coding Conventions used to develop documentation.
For naming conventions and design guidelines refer to Framework Design Guidelines by Microsoft.
