variable naming convention

[Mr.No]

Hi

I'm a VB6 programmer and making a move towards VB.NET. It was a recommended practice to name variables as follows:

' Privates
    Private pvStrName  as String
    Private pvLngCustID as Long
    Private pvDteDOB as Date

I've notice that in a few VB.NET samples some people use

Private _CustName as string
   Private _CustID as Long
 
   Public Property CustName as String
      Get
            CustName = _Custname
      End Get
      Set (value as String)
            _Custname = value
      End Set
   End Property

I've even read somewhere that with .NET you don't need to use the hungarian notation, i.e. prefixing variables with type names etc.

I know it all depends on preferences but I would like to adopt a proper naming convention for my .NET projects. Could someone please shed some light on this.

Thanks
