Identifiers should have correct prefix

Cause

An identifier is not correctly prefixed.

Rule Description

By convention, the names of certain programming elements start with a specific prefix.

Interface names should begin with a capital 'I' followed by another capital letter. This rule reports violations for interface names such as 'MyInterface' and 'IsolatedInterface'.

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.

How to Fix Violations

Rename the identifier so that it is correctly prefixed.

When to Exclude Warnings

Do not exclude a warning from this rule.
