Firstly, Intellisense will find matches anywhere in an identifier, not just at the beginning. It does for me, anyway, but I use ReSharper, so maybe vanilla VS Intellisense doesn't do that and I just don't remember.

Secondly - and more importantly - I have heard this argument before and I always wonder who on Earth these people are who can't remember what they named a control. If you can't remember what you named a control then you are almost certainly using bad names in the first place. If a [ICODE]TextBox[/ICODE] exists for the purposes of displaying and editing a [ICODE]NickName[/ICODE] field/property then I'm naming it [ICODE]nickNameTextBox[/ICODE]. If I then want to access that in code, how exactly am I going to forget the name if I know that I'm looking for the [ICODE]TextBox[/ICODE] for the [ICODE]NickName[/ICODE] field/property? I've always considered that to be a justification for following an existing convention - an excuse to not change what you're already doing - rather than an actual reason to use that convention.
