Avoid language specific type names in parameters

The name of a parameter in an externally visible member contains a language-specific type name.

Each concatenated word in the parameter name is checked against the following language-specific type names, in a case-insensitive manner:

• bool

• float

• float32

• float64

• int

• int8

• integer

• long

• short

• uint

• ulong

• unsigned

• ushort

• wchar

Language-specific type names might not be intuitive for developers using other languages. If a type name must be used, use a universal type name instead of a language-specific type name. For example, instead of the C# type name 'ushort', use the universal type name, UInt16.

Select a parameter name that does not contain one of the previously listed type names.

For new development, there are no known scenarios where it is necessary to exclude a warning from this rule. For shipping libraries, it might be necessary to exclude a warning from this rule.

Long acronyms should be pascal-cased

Short acronyms should be uppercase

Identifiers should be cased correctly

Identifiers should differ by more than case

Identifiers should not contain underscores

Parameter names should not match member names
