What code convetion do you use?

Hi!
What code convetion do you use in your company? Or do you create a new one?
(I'm not talking about when I code alone)
I will apreciate if you write any link.
Thanks a lot.

I try and emulate this as much as possible for C#. I don't follow it completely, but for the most part, emulating the standards set by MSDN example code can do you no harm.
My company has no official coding standard, unfortunately.
We follow the MSDN one pretty closely. It doesn't really make much sense to invent a new one when so much of your code makes such heavy use of the standard libarary, it'd look a little out of place, really.
Edit: Oh sorry, it's not specific to just C#... I don't know why I read that into the OP :) For C++ I tend to use a standard library/boost coding style, but that's not in a company environment. In my last job, we wrote C++ similarly to how we do C# now (though with a 'C' prefix for class names... a strange practice that I do not understand to this day, probably borrowed from ATL/MFC).

I follow the C# recommended spec pretty much verbatim, in both C++ and C#. Other languages, I sorta make it up as I go >_<
Apps Hungarian (not Systems Hungarian).
There was actually a big email-fight at work today regarding standards, resulting in this:
There was actually a big email-fight at work today regarding standards, resulting in this:
My work uses the default MSVS settings, PascalCase for classes/publics, camelCase for locals/params/privates, comment only the peculiar cases... pretty standard stuff. For C# and java anyways. C++ is pretty standard C++ notation.
For my personal projects I change the default settings to not put { on a newline. I also will always use braces for conditionals, and always parenthesize a return value.
And oh, how I await the day that IDE autoformatting is good enough to let everyone do whatever they want and then reformat it to some convention for check-in.

When we started up the company I didn't want to spend a lot of time on style so we used the Google C++ style Guide with very little modifications. Also all of the C# code is following the C# recommended spec.
Braces on new line, spaces instead of tabs, etc., the typical MS C# style. The specifics don't matter too much since it's just formatting; what's important is that you pick a standard and apply it consistently.
What's considerably more important are things like naming, exception usage, and general code design. For this I highly recommend Framework Design Guidelines by Krzysztof Cwalina and Brad Abrams. Despite its name I find it highly applicable to non-framework code. The chapter on naming in particular is hugely important and useful.

I'll generally use whatever style is most common in the language I'm using.
My bracing in C++ is different from some styles in that it puts braces on newlines for bracing levels deeper than two levels or sections that are deeper than one level and are <10 lines long. Eg:

Thanks a lot, very interesting.
I found a lot of info here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Programming_style
All opinions are welcome.
By the way, does anyone work in a company without them? What do you think?
Thanks.
