In my .NET Class, they teach us all these naming conventions. "pstrWhatever" for Procedure-level String variable, etc. However, I notice in a lot of the code I see posted here, they aren't used much. Are they something I should get in the habit of using, or are they more of a teaching tool, but something that I'll drop once I get into the "Real World"? I just want to know, so I know whether or not they are worht getting used to.
