Re: Hungarian Notation


I made a concious decision, because of what I perceived as a value to me, to *start* to specifically distinguish *components* from other identifiers via the use of prefixes. 

You still haven't said why you do that, though.

I never considered using prefixes for anything else, thus it was never a matter of deciding better of it or stopping short.

YOu're splitting a semantic hair there :-) You've already said you think it's bad to use HN for everything. You draw a line, yes? Because?


Cheers,
Jim Cooper
