Naming Conventions

C#

• classes, structs, delegate types: CamelCase
• methods, properties, events: CamelCase
• local variables, fields: mixedCamelCase (sometimes lower_case)
• constants, enum values: CamelCase

Vala

• classes, structs, delegate types: CamelCase
• methods, properties, signals: lower_case
• local variables, fields: lower_case
• constants, enum values: UPPER_CASE

Unlike C#, Vala does not require file names to match a type they contain, and the compiler does not enforce a file naming convention. Community projects vary - some use PascalCase file names matching the class they define (e.g. MyClass.vala), others use kebab-case (e.g. my-class.vala). See the Source Files and Compilation guide for more detail.
