title: Link to Microsoft coding standard/ best practices documentation?
body: <p>can anyone post the link to the Microsoft development best practices and guidelines?</p>
  
  <p>i have searched high and low for this and cant seem to find the resource i am looking for. In particular i am lookign for the development guidelines Microsoft published to outline best practice in .net development... it contained things like closing connections, naming conventions, exception handling...</p>
  
  <p>i remember when i was defining a corporate SDLC a while back and doing FxCop work and setup i had a holey grail of .net development from Microsoft that FxCop checks for and enforces.</p>
  
  <p>can someone please help me locate this once again?!?!?</p>
