Leszynski naming convention

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Leszynski naming convention (or LNC) is a way of naming objects in programming and database development fields. The Leszynski naming convention is a form of Hungarian notation which emphasizes the use of three-letter (and occasionally four-letter) object type prefixes.

For example, a developer wanting to store a string that contains a username might call it strUsername. Or, in a database, a table that stores prices for an online store might be called tblPrices. This makes it very easy to understand the type of something when just glancing over it. The tags are always lower-case and each word of the object name is capitalized. Spaces and underscores are not used.

This naming convention is often used within the Microsoft Access community, and is standard in Visual Basic programming, but is not widely used elsewhere.
