Convention for class name prefixing . . .

[Michael A. Crawford]

So, what is the convention? I assume I should prefix my class names so that I minimize potential for name space conflict, but what should I use as a prefix? The options readily available to me are:

1) Developer or company name
2) Application or framework name



MCProtocolDatabase
MACProtocolDatabase
CDEProtocolDatabase
PEProtocolDatabase







Discussion?

Thanks.

Given that I have a Protocol Engine app or framework with a class called ProtocolDatabase, I would have the following options: Using my name 'Michael A. Crawford' or my company name 'Crawford Design Engineering' or the app name 'ProtocolEngine'. Should the prefix be limited to a certain number of characters? 2 or 3, for example. Or, is it acceptable to use a higher number (4 or 5) of characters in the prefix? I'm used to namespaces, which I use in C++ and used to use when writing C# code.
