Naming style for static members contradicts with the page "Names of Type Members"

[fgimian]

This page suggests using a s_ prefix for static members yet the Names of Type Members docs specifically say:

For example, do not use "g_" or "s_" to indicate static fields.

This is an area we should look at more holistically.

In general, our docs follow the dotnet/runtime coding style. We should update these articles to match that, and point liberally to the editorconfig section of the Visual Studio docs to enable each team to enforce their preferences.

Sounds good, thanks so much. I think clarifying this consistently would be good. Unfortunately some of these conventions also don't align with StyleCop defaults which makes it a little more confusing for someone who isn't as familiar with the language.
