vb identifiers like a class name, must start with an alpha.

The name of a class may not start with a number.

will need to look at some code to decipher that.

That is interesting to know. Does C# allow class names to start with numeric
?

I would imagine not, though I don't recall exactly. I would be surprised if
it did.

I don't think so. Java and PHP don't allow them either.

Identifiers are used for class names, method names, and variable names.

An identifier may be any descriptive sequence of uppercase and lowercase letters,
numbers, or the underscore and dollar-sign characters.

They must not begin with a number, because they could be confused with a numeric literal.

IIRC, this limitation comes from the Unicode Standard Annex 15.

I could be wrong, though, so I'll welcome further illumination.

Thanks a lot... That really helped
