== Why is this an issue?

Sharing some naming conventions is a key point to make it possible for a team to efficiently collaborate.This rule checks that all local variables follow a naming convention.


The default configuration is:


* Camel casing, starting with a lower case character, e.g. backColor
* Short abbreviations of 2 letters can be capitalized only when not at the beginning, e.g. id, productID
* Longer abbreviations need to be lower cased, e.g. html

=== Noncompliant code example

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

[source,vbnet]
----
Module Module1
    Sub Main()
        Dim Foo = 0 ' Noncompliant
    End Sub
End Module
----

=== Compliant solution

[source,vbnet]
----
Module Module1
    Sub Main()
        Dim foo = 0 ' Compliant
    End Sub
End Module
