The name of an identifier is not cased correctly.
By convention, parameter names use camel casing; namespace, type, and member names use Pascal casing. In a camel-cased name, the first letter is lower case, and the first letter of any remaining words in the name is in uppercase. Examples of camel-cased names are "packetSniffer", "ioFile", and "fatalErrorCode". In a Pascal-cased name, the first letter is upper case, and the first letter of any remaining words in the name is in uppercase. Examples of Pascal-cased names are "PacketSniffer", "IOFile", and "FatalErrorCode".
Naming conventions provide a common look for libraries that target the common language runtime. This reduces the learning curve required for new software libraries, and increases customer confidence that the library was developed by someone with expertise in developing managed code.
Change the name so that it is cased correctly.
Do not exclude a warning from this rule.
Identifiers should differ by more than case
Long acronyms should be pascal-cased
Short acronyms should be uppercase
