No it's not. There *is* no one specific C# convention. The closest
thing to it is the MS guidelines for developers and the naming
guidelines in the ECMA spec, and those don't cover bracing as far as I
can see. The C# spec uses K&R bracing (in the bit I just looked at,
anyway) but I can't see it actually being recommended.

Clearly *someone* must be stating this as *a* convention, but the
question is who.
