ASP.NET Coding Standards and Guidelines

1. Prefix user control names with “uc”

2. The rest of the user control name should be in Pascal Casing (Ex. ucMyUserControl)

3. Do not use session variables throughout the code. Use session variables only within the classes and expose methods to access the value stored in the session variables.

4. Do not store large objects in session, it may consume lot of server memory depending on the number of users.

5. Always use style sheet to control the look and feel of the pages.

6. Categories data and store it in predefine folder depending on its working.(e.g.- store all images, sound, video files in media or image folder)
