# Styling

Use braces around multi-line blocks.

// good
if (condition)
{
    return true;
}

// acceptable
if (condition) return true;

// bad
if (condition)
    return true;

Prefix comments with "NOTE" or "TODO" as necessary to indicate items needing follow-up.

Use explicit values for publicly exposed enumerations in shared libraries.

Provide a value for zero preferring “None” or “Empty” as the name. This will be the default.

Place the opening brace on a new line (note the difference from JavaScript).

// good
if (condition)
{
    return true;
}

// bad
if (condition) {
    return true;
}

Surround operators with a single space.

// good
var total = price * quantity;

// bad
var total=price*quantity;

End files with a single newline character

Include using directives when possible to avoid unnecessary namespace qualifications.

Use implicit typing with the var keyword for local variables when the type of the variable is obvious from the right side of the assignment or when the precise type is not important.

// good
var list = new List<String>;

// avoid
string total=price*quantity;

Reference external databases through views instead of creating direct references within stored procedures.

DO NOT use three part names when referencing objects within the same database.

Use meaningful aliases when joining tables.

-- good
SELECT
    U.User_Ref
,   R.Rank_Name
FROM
    dbo.tbl_User AS U
INNER JOIN
    dbo.tbl_Rank AS R
    ON U.User_Rank_Ref = R.Rank_Ref;

-- bad
SELECT
    tbl_User.User_Ref
,   tbl_Rank.Rank_Name
FROM
    dbo.tbl_User
INNER JOIN
    dbo.tbl_Rank
    ON tbl_User.User_Rank_Ref = tbl_Rank.Rank_Ref;

-- bad
SELECT
    A.User_Ref
,   B.Rank_Name
FROM
    dbo.tbl_User AS A
INNER JOIN
    dbo.tbl_Rank AS B
    ON A.User_Rank_Ref = B.Rank_Ref;

End statements with a semicolon (;).

Declare all variables with the var keyword.

Prefix internal variables with an underscore (_) when using the module pattern.

Prefer === and !== over == and !=.

Use braces around multi-line blocks.

// good
if (condition) {
 return true;
}

// acceptable
if (condition) return true;

// bad
if (condition)
 return true;

Place the opening brace on the same line (note the difference from C#).

// good
if (condition) {
    return true;
}

// bad
if (condition)
{
    return true;
}

Surround operators with a single space.

// good
var total = price * quantity;

// bad
var total=price*quantity;

End files with a single newline character.
