If you name your UI controls like TextBox1.... TextBox24.... Then GO AND FUCKING DIE

    Haha no, only Label1, Label2, etc, as they are set once in designer and that's it. (I've no need for multi-lang in internal tools)

    @olezhka ...at least refactor those to have a proper name. Label1 becomes <something>Label.

    @filthyranter Honestly, I don't see the point. At least in Visual Studio with Windows Forms all those objects that we drag into designer are created in code in a separate partial class with *.designer.cs extension.

    And unless I am specifically using some label for output I leave them be and only change the Text property to what I need.

    They will not be visible in any meaningful way after that...

    @olezhka Good point, but it's still good practice to give them meaningful names.

    @olezhka i agree. It is ok to do that with labels or controls that are basically static. But not with input fields like textboxes.

    @RodrigoF while I am not a fan of the '_' at least there is a naming convention here. I prefer: AddressPostalCodeTextBox

    Nah I group stuff by name, so text boxes start with something like txt_something or textbox_something..
    It's easy to find a specific controller this way...
    Like lbl_name, lbl_age, lbl_adress , img_box_logo.....
