Setting Default Prefixes for Objects

After adding any control or object to form from datasource or toolbox, vb postfixes object type name to that control e.g. for Name field NameTextBox, for Component like Data Adapter say AddresesDataAdapter, AddresesBindingSource and so on.

I don't think this is true. If you drag a text box from tool box by default in VB.NET the name will be TextBox1 and in C# it will be textBox1, how come the .NET know that you want to use this text box for Name? This you need to change.

Here i want to ask you that may i change this default way to identify the object i.e. may i set prefixes desired for diffrent objects.

Say txt prefix for textbox control, lbl for label control, cbo for Combo Box,ta for Table Adapter, bs for Binding Source & so on. Thanks.

This is entirely depends on you preference and choice. If you are working on an existing application then follow the existing naming convention and if you are starting a new application then use as per your choice. But I will suggest if your are working on a project using .NET then follow Microsoft guidelines for the naming convention.
