Well known coding standards for a .NET application?

Question

I'm working on an intranet application using Silverlight, WCF and EF.

What standards I should be following to ensure my code can be easily maintained by future developers?

Answer 1

I use the following as a guideline and it suites my style well. General Naming Conventions http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms229045.aspx

The one thing that I need to state is that you can use any convention you want, just as long as your team understands it and uses it. Following a standard on your own is pretty pointless.

As far as general concerns like security and that goes, you could have a look at these pocket guides, they are quite helpful http://apparch.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=Pocket%20Guides
