It look very good.

And of course Design Guidelines for Developing Class Libraries

Solution 4

Use the tools Microsoft FxCop and Microsoft StyleCop for validation.

Solution 5

Instead of listing potentially flammable conventions, I will just tell you that I follow whatever conventions FXCop suggests, with a couple of exceptions.

+1. This is the conventions suggested by Microsoft which is implemented in the .NET class library.

I'm sorry, but unless I forgot to read something, the article does not describe naming conventions for projects, only for assemblies and DLLs. EDIT: Ok, I just realized that the question itself is ambiguous, and could refer to either project files, or generally everything about a project, in which case your answer would be ok.
