.NET naming convention for "ID" (anything identification: Capitalization)

Question

I am in the process of unifying these inconsistent naming conventions and this one problem has been a bit driving me crazy lately.

In the code base I am working with has no convention regarding "ID"; "ID", "Id" and even "iD" are used inconsistently.

****Question**: In .NET, how do you guys capitalize "ID"? For an example, nodeID, nodeId? FolderID or FolderId?

****Edit**: How about plural cases? then should I do "NodeIDs" or "NodeIds"?

Thanks

Answer 1

Capitalization is for 2 letters acronyms. UI, IP, etc.

"Id" is an abbreviation for Identifier, so it should stay pascal cased.
