How to define the default name field suggestion in Visual Studio 2019 for c#

Question

Given the class:

class BaseController
{
    BaseView _baseView;
    BaseModel _baseModel;
}

When using visual studio's suggested naming, it offers me the name base, not baseView. I've managed to add the _ prefix through the options, text-editor, c#, Code Style. But I cannot see how to control the proposed field name suggestion.

I was wondering if this could be controlled so it would suggest _baseView and _baseModel etc.

This worked for me:

1. Go to Tools -> Options -> Text Editor -> C# -> Code Style -> Naming
   
2. Click "Select manage styles"
   

3. Click the "+" to add a new naming style

4. Fill in:
   Naming Style Title: "_camelCase"
   Required Prefix: "_"
   Capitalization: "camel Case Name"
   

5. Select "OK"

6. Click the "+" to add a new Specification

7. In the new row select:
   Specification: "Private or Internal Field"
   Required Style: "_camelCase"
   Severity: "Suggestion"
   

8. Restart Visual Studio

That's it!
