JetBrains Rider C# naming style for private methods and properties

Question

I'd like to make the first letter of private methods lowercase and the first letter of public methods uppercase. However, in Rider there seems to be only one option under C# naming style that applies all methods, properties and events. What is the best way to tell Rider to use a different convention for private only?

Rider doesn't have UI for cutom naming rules yet, see see RIDER-8339. A possible workaround:

1. Open the solution in Visual Studio with ReSharper
2. Add a custom naming rule: ReSharper | Options | Code Editing | C# | Naming Style -> Advanced Settings
3. Save settings to a team-shared layer
4. Open/reopen solution in Rider

rare case where I have rider but no resharper. Other possibilities? Evtl. add something right in settings xml? – Gregoriogregorius
