C# abstract class naming convention [duplicate]

In C#, the interface naming convention is I<myInterfaceName> (ex: IList).

Are there any naming conventions for abstract classes?

If there aren't, what are the main recommendations?

Solution 1:

Normally, there is no suffix/prefix used when naming abstract classes, unlike interfaces, which have the prefix "I". Just give your class a name that describes what it is for, in a short precise way.

Solution 2:

Are there a naming convention for abstract class ?

No, there are no conventions here. There are some common ways of denoting an abstract base class. The most common I've seen is to use the suffix Base. Personally, I do not like this convention, and the Framework guidelines recommend against it.

And if there aren't what is the mains recommandations ?

A good, general name that describes what the class is modeling, just like any other class name. So Shape and then Polygon and then RegularPolygon so on.
