I couldn't agree more - [8:09 AM]

Jason Bock: "The thing about having a public .NET API using underscores is it doesn't fit the recommended coding style. If you're in Eiffel, that's actually what you do - in fact, you use upper-case and underscores (e.g. GET_CUSTOMER). But it .NET, public APIs should be Pascal-cased with no underscores - e.g. GetCustomer." - It's kind of strange how cultures form around coding style. You have the *NIX hacker that tend to use lower case and underscores and heaven forbid K&R style bracing, ick, the most disgusting coding style EVER! I find it hard to believe the IronPython and IronRuby teams use the K&R style, but they both started life outside of Microsoft, so they have that open source feel.

I'm with Jason on this, I do prefer Pascal cased public methods, and since there is a standard they should follow it, even if they don't like it.

Consistency is important.
