The most common practice is to use PascalCase for the names of all fields, except for those which are private (and neither const nor static), which are given names that use camelCase preceded by a single underscore; for example, _totalCount. Any identifier name may be prefixed by the commercial-at symbol (@), without any change in meaning.
Camel case is named after the "hump" of its protruding capital letter, similar to the hump of common camels.. Camel case (sometimes stylized autologically as camelCase or CamelCase, also known as camel caps or more formally as medial capitals) is the practice of writing phrases without spaces or punctuation and with capitalized words.
Microsoft has published naming conventions for identifiers in C#, which recommends the use of PascalCase for the names of types and most type members, and camelCase for variables and for private or internal fields. [1] However, these naming conventions are not enforced in the language.
One study has found that readers can recognize snake case values more quickly than camel case. However, "subjects were trained mainly in the underscore style", so the possibility of bias cannot be eliminated. [1] A variation is screaming snake case, where words are written in all caps (stylized as SCREAMING_SNAKE_CASE). [2]
Alternating caps, [1] also known as studly caps [a], sticky caps (where "caps" is short for capital letters), or spongecase (in reference to the "Mocking Spongebob" internet meme) is a form of text notation in which the capitalization of letters varies by some pattern, or arbitrarily (often also omitting spaces between words and occasionally some letters).

The naming conventions for the components (classes and other members) in the API are heavily influenced by the .NET naming conventions which uses camel case (specifically PascalCase). Microsoft recommends users to follow these rules in case where no others are given.
