Importance of Coding Standards for .NET Development

A coding standard is a set of guidelines, rules and regulations on how to write code which will help programmers/developer quickly read and understand source code conforming to the style as well as helping to avoid introducing faults and misunderstanding. Coding standards are important because they provide greater consistency and uniformity in writing code between programmers. This ultimately leads to the code that is easier to understand and maintain which reduces the overall cost of the project.
