Link to Microsoft coding standard/ best practices documentation?

can anyone post the link to the Microsoft development best practices and guidelines?

i have searched high and low for this and cant seem to find the resource i am looking for. In particular i am lookign for the development guidelines Microsoft published to outline best practice in .net development... it contained things like closing connections, naming conventions, exception handling...

i remember when i was defining a corporate SDLC a while back and doing FxCop work and setup i had a holey grail of .net development from Microsoft that FxCop checks for and enforces.

can someone please help me locate 开发者_运维问答this once again?!?!?

Design Guidelines for Developing Class Libraries on MSDN

If you want something you can take with you, then I suggest The Hardcover Edition.

There are also a nice c# style guide from Phillips, you can find here

EDIT: A new one i just found Application Architecture Guide v2 and C# Coding Style Guide

HTH.

You should also look at

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/practices/default.aspx

While we are on the subject, here is a link to a C# Coding Standards document I find useful.

I'm not sure there's a single place where you can go for best practice guidance on that broad a scale.

A good starting point for app development would be .NET Framework Core Development and .NET Framework Advanced Development, but that does not cover coding standards such as naming conventions.

Exception handling is covered here.
