Is there a standard guidelines as to the naming convention/style that asp.net control elements should be named. I have seen some developers prefixing textboxes with txt etc. Are there any standards that should be abided by?

Answer: 
You can use ISO standard Naming convention or CMM level convention.

like Function name "Add"

variable name "strQuery"

Control Name "btnSubmit"

Class Name "Common"

Namespace "Sanjog.Web"

public Property Name "UniqueId"

private variable "\_uniqueId"

Hope this is what you are looking for.
MSDN has it covered -> [MSDN Naming Guidelines](http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/xzf533w0%28v=vs.71%29.aspx)

Anyway, as long as everyone working on a project follows the same convention, you're good to go, whatever that convention is.
