Breaking change Non-breaking

Cause

The name of an instance field starts with "s_" or the name of a static (Shared in Visual Basic) field starts with "m_".

Note

This rule has been deprecated. For more information, see Deprecated rules.

Rule description

Field names that start with "s_" are associated with static data by many users. Similarly, field names that start with "m_" are associated with instance (member) data. For more easily maintained code, names should follow generally used conventions.

How to fix violations

To fix a violation of this rule, rename the field by using the appropriate prefix. Alternatively, make the field agree with the current suffix by adding or removing the static modifier.

When to suppress warnings

Do not suppress a warning from this rule.
