Leszynski Naming Convention

|
The Leszynski Naming Convention (or LNC) is a way of naming objects in programming and database development fields. It defines a principle of preceding a name with three letters that describe the object. For example, a developer wanting to store a string that contains a username might call it strUsername. Or, in a database, a table that stores prices for an online store might be called tblPrices. This makes it very easy to understand the type of something when just glancing over it. The tags are always lower-case and each word of the object name is capitalized. Spaces and underscores are not used.
This naming convention is often used within the Microsoft Access community, as well as standard in Visual Basic programming, but is not a widely-used practice elsewhere. It is also referred to as Hungarian notation.
