Static Field Naming Guidelines

The following rules outline the naming guidelines for static fields:

Use nouns, noun phrases, or abbreviations of nouns to name static fields.
Use Pascal case.
Do not use a Hungarian notation prefix on static field names.
It is recommended that you use static properties instead of public static fields whenever possible.
