Naming Controls

[Brian Corcoran]

With dotnet, everyone has said that you should no longer use hungarian notation
to name your objects. So, no more strName or intCount.

Okay, but what about controls on forms. If you have a button that is the
"okay" button, I can't see how naming it "Okay" makes any sense.

Thoughts?

I'd call it btnOkay, but then I still use strName.

For controls I still find it useful to use btoButton or btnButton so that it
is easier to find in dropdown help. However I don't use hungarian for
variables.

Just don't use button1, button2, etc.
You'd be surprised that some people do!
