Back in the early days at Microsoft, Charles Simonyi introduced an identifier naming convention that adds a prefix to the identifier name to indicate the type of the identifier. This system became widely used inside (and outside) Microsoft and came to be known as Hungarian notation mainly because Simonyi is originally from Hungary.
Fast forward to .NET. Apparently Microsoft’s .NET Naming Guidelines have largely abandoned using prefix characters (the notable exception being interfaces, whose names are to be preceded with an uppercase I. .NET has adopted a naming scheme that’s very similar to Java’s. (Via The Farm)
