Shared coding conventions allow teams to collaborate efficiently. This rule checks that all namespace names match a provided regular expression.


The default configuration is the one recommended by Microsoft:

* Pascal casing, starting with an upper case character, e.g. Microsoft, System
* Short abbreviations of 2 letters can be capitalized, e.g. System.IO
* Longer abbreviations need to be lower cased

== Noncompliant Code Example

With the default regular expression: ``++^([A-Z]{1,3}[a-z0-9]+)*([A-Z]{2})?(\.([A-Z]{1,3}[a-z0-9]+)*([A-Z]{2}))*$++``
