Is it possible to change the coding conventions in Visual Studio

Question

I want to change the way that Visual Studio generates the coding template for a WinForms application.

For example in C#:

1. Once I drag and drop a control on the designer, the name of this control will be in CamelCase
2. Once I define the control event, Visual Studio generates the code as CamelCase then "_" then the event name in pascalCase

What I want is to tell Visual Studio to use pascalCase in all cases. Is this possible? If so, how?

Answer 1

You can do it with your own controls using the DesignerSerializer attribute and providing your own CodeDomSerializer, but no, there's no Visual Studio option or a way to hook up the designer to change the serialization for all/built-in controls.
