C#/VB .NET Coding Guidelines From Iridium Software
I found a good document over at Iridium Software discussing coding standards for both C# and VB.NET. At over 100 pages it covers a lot of ground, focusing on C# and VB.NET issues in equal depth. This is great because many other standards documents out there seem to focus much more on the C# side of things.
It’s an easy read with straight-to-the-point bullets and easy to follow code samples. It’s more of a recommendation than a strict code of practice. I don’t agree with everything, as I’m sure neither will FXCop.
If you or your company don’t have any specific coding standards to follow it’s a good place to start, and if you find a couple of hours over the Christmas break I’d definitely recommend the read.
