Editing Leszynski naming convention (section)

{{Refimprove|date=October 2020}}

The '''Leszynski naming convention''' (or '''LNC''') is a variant of [[Hungarian notation]] popularized by consultant Stan Leszynski specifically for use with [[Microsoft Access]] development.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://msdn.microsoft.com/archive/default.asp?url=/archive/en-us/dnaraccess/html/msdn_20naming.asp|title=Naming Conventions for Microsoft Access (Archived Microsoft Access Content)|website=MSDN.Microsoft.com}}{{Dead link|date=February 2020 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> Although the [[Naming convention (programming)|naming convention]] is nowadays often used within the [[Microsoft Access]] community, and is the standard in [[Visual Basic]] programming, it is not widely used elsewhere.

The conventions are derived from an earlier set of conventions, the Leszynski/Reddick naming conventions, originally developed in 1992 by [[Greg Reddick]]. Eventually, Leszynski and Reddick had different ideas about how the conventions should be developed, and split into two separate sets of conventions, the other being the [[RVBA Conventions]].

As in all Hungarian notations, it uses prefixes (called ''tags'') to indicate the type of [[Object (computer science)|objects]] and [[database development]] fields. The general structure of Hungarian notation (named after [[Charles Simonyi]]'s native country) is to break down object names into the following elements:
[prefix(es)][tag]BaseName[Suffix/Qualifier]
The tags are [[lower case]] and the object name is [[camel case]]. Spaces and underscores are not used.
