C# case sensitivity and VS.

[Guest]

Is there an option in VS IDE which can be set for automatically fixing of
C#'s case sensitivity typing errors?

Ex.
if I type getLength , I want VS to convert it into GetLength.


Thanks

It will if you complete it with Intellisense - i.e. type getle and hit
Ctrl+Space, then select GetLength and hit tab.

no. because in C#, IDE cannot just assume difference in casing is a typing error. it is perfectly legal (though terrible programming practice) to have a variable foo and another variable Foo in the same scope. you just need to give up your bad legacy habit from VB ( another reason why VB is evil ) and start training your fingers, paying more attention to correct casing. follow standard naming convention is a starter

....but isn't one of the C# conventions to use "foo" for a private variable,
and use "Foo" for the public property that exposes that private variable?

Yes, it is. I would agree that it would be bad practice to have both as
*variables*, but I personally use the convention of variable foo,
property Foo.
