Shared coding conventions allow teams to collaborate efficiently. This rule checks that all namespace names match a provided regular expression.

The default configuration is the one recommended by Microsoft:

• Pascal casing, starting with an upper case character, e.g. Microsoft, System
• Short abbreviations of 2 letters can be capitalized, e.g. System.IO
• Longer abbreviations need to be lower cased

Noncompliant Code Example

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

Namespace foo  ' Noncompliant
End Namespace

Compliant Solution

Namespace Foo  ' Compliant
End Namespace
