.NET naming convention for “ID” (anything identification: Capitalization)

Question

I am in the process of unifying these inconsistent naming conventions and this one problem has been a bit driving me crazy lately.

In the code base I am working with has

Answer 1

I think that the reason some people are using 'ID' instead of 'Id' is because it is a subset of 'GUID', 'UUID' or 'UID' that are generally capitalized.

I agree that it should be 'Id' but I think that it strongly depends on the context because in some environments it might be more appropriate to use 'ID'.

So to me 'ID' is a technical term and a subset of the above or used to refer either one of these technical terms whereas 'Id' is the shorthand to any kind of identifier and in a non-technical context when you need a person to read it like in your public APIs or UML you should (in my opinion) use 'Id'.
