SSWUpdate - Do you use more meaningful names than Hungarian short form?

[the cutting edge ]

G'Day Developers!

Hungarian notation is used in VB6. In .NET, there are over 35,000 classes, so we can't just call them with three letter short form. We would suggest the developer use the full name of the class name as in the example below. As a result, the code will be much easier to read and follow up.

Bad code - Without meaningful name.

//Bad Code
DateTime dt = new DateTime.Now();
DataSet ds = new DataSet();

// It could be confused with Date time.
DataTable dt = ds.Tables[0];

Good code - With meaningful name.

//Good Code
DateTime currentDateTime = new DateTime.Now();
DataSet employmentDataSet = new DataSet();
DataTable ContactDetailsDataTable = ds.Tables[0];
