Access VBA is not case sensitive. Like VB Classic, if you type any other case for command or variable names, Access VBA will change it to the "accepted" or "defined" case. For example, if you type msgbox it is converted to Msgbox.

Syntax Example:   The following code works: MsgBox ("hello")

ASP Classic is not case sensitive. My preference for all languages where case sensitivity does not matter is to use camel caps as in the first example above. Many developers coming from a case sensitive language prefer to use all lowercase.

Syntax Example:   You can use any of the following: Response.Write "Hello" response.write "Hello" RESPONSE.WRITE "Hello" REsponse.WritE "Hello"

C++ is case sensitive. In C and C++ commands and variable names are case sensitive.

printf("hello\n");

Printf("hello\n"); //>>>Does not work!

Same as standard C++. Both are case sensitive. In C and C++ commands and variable names are case sensitive.

MessageBox::Show("Hello");

messagebox::SHOW("Hello"); //>>>Does not work!

ObjectPAL is not case sensitive. My preference for ObjectPAL is to follow the camel casing promoted in the examples and help files originally developed by Borland.

Syntax Example:   All of the following are equivalent: msgInfo "", "Hello" MsgInfo "", "Hello" msginfo "", "Hello" MSGINFO "", "Hello" Variables are not case sensitive. Var FullName String endVar fullname="Mike Prestwood" msgInfo("", fullNAME)

 Camel Casing

Object Pascal is generally not case sensitive.

Syntax Example:   Variables and commands are not case sensitive. var FullName: String; begin fullname := 'Mike Prestwood'; ShowMessage(fullNAME); SHOWMESSAGE(FULLNAME); showmessage(fullname); end;

 Camel versus Pascal Casing

Prism is generally not case sensitive. Commands and variable names are not case sensitive.

Note: Prism (and Delphi for .Net) do not automatically match your typed case with the defined case as C# and VB.Net do within the Visual Studio Shell.

Syntax Example:   The following demonstrates command and variable case insensitiviy. var  FullName: String; begin  fullname := 'Mike Prestwood';  MessageBox.Show(fullNAME);  MESSAGEBOX.SHOW(FULLNAME);  messAGEbox.sHow(fullname); end;

Java is case sensitive.

Customary casing:

• Classes - Initial Caps (Pascal Casing)
• Variables - Initial lowecase (Camel case)
• Methods - Initial lowecase (Camel case)

JavaScript is case sensitive. Change the case, and it no longer works! Notice the "W" in "Write" is capitalized.

<script language=JavaScript> 
<!--
document.Write("Hello"); //Does not work! 
//--> 
</script>

Variable names are case sensitive.

<script language=JavaScript> 
<!--
document.write("Hello"); 
//--> 
</script>

Perl is case sensitive.

print "hello"; //This works.

Print "hello"; //This does not.

PHP is case sensitive with variable names but not with commands. Although commands are case incenstive, I prefer to use all lowercase because it's easy to type and that's what I see most PHP coders doing and I see it on PHP.Net.

echo "hello<br>";

ECHO "hello<br>";

Echo "hello<br>";

eCHo "hello<br>";

$fullname = "Mike Prestwood"; //These are two...

$FullName = "Wes Peterson";   //separate varialbes.

VB Classic is not case sensitive. If you type any other case for commands or variables, VB Classicwill change it to the "accepted" or "defined" case. For example, if you type msgbox it is converted to MsgBox.

MsgBox ("hello")

VB.Net is not case sensitive. If you type any other case for commands or variables, VB.Net will change it to the accepted or defined case. For example, if you type messagebox.show it is converted to MessageBox.Show.

Syntax Example:   The following code works: MessageBox.Show("hello")
