The nice thing about coding standards is that there are so many to choose from:

Pick a convention that suits you and use it consistently.

The Microsoft convention — pascalCase private fields and CamelCase properties is tidy, but can lead to bugs due to typos. I find the leading underscore convention annoying as it requires two additional key strokes every time you type the name, but you don't get the typos so much (or at least the compiler catches them first).
