Custom Naming Style Options in Resharper For Backing Fields

The coding standard in my organization is for private fields to be lowerCamelCase but backing fields used by properties to be prefixed with an underscore (_). Is there a way to add a rule just for backing fields in the Resharper Naming Style tool.

Here's the Naming Rule Editor:

I'd rather this error not show up for local variables

Examples in VB and C#:

VB:

<!-- language: lang-vb -->

Public Class Employee

	'Should be lowerCamelCase
	Private useCode As String = "NEW"
	
	'should be _lowerCamelCase
	Private _name As String
	
	Public Property Name() As String
		Get
			Return _name
		End Get
		Set(ByVal value As String)
			_name = value
		End Set
	End Property
	
End Class

C#:

<!-- language: lang-cs -->

public class Employee
{

	//Should be lowerCamelCase
	private string useCode = "NEW";

	//should be _lowerCamelCase
	private string _name;

	public string Name {
		get { return _name; }
		set { _name = value; }
	}

}

Whether you agree or not with this naming convention, is there a way to ask reshaper to enforce this?

There is no way to enforce naming rules for backing fields in ReSharper, but you can add multiple rules for entity kind.

With this settings applied, ReSharper will allow you to have fields with and without underscore prefix.
