File naming conflict - how to name files?

[notfred]

Ok, so I'm writing an ASP.NET web application. I have files named for classes that are named with mixed case, like this: MyClassName.aspx, which is standard.

However, these files are also file names for web pages, which are lowercase by convention.

So, do I use MyClassName.aspx, or myclassname.aspx?

What would you do.

I voted lowercase, but my only real reasoning for this decision was it is better to make things easier for the end user and the programmer deal with the headache rather than the other way around. So I am going to assume that the lower case file name is more likely to be typed out by the user than a mixed case.

In all likelyhood, most people will never type out these addresses anyway, they'll just type the domain name and them click on a link from that page, either that or they'll bookmark specific pages.

I would just pick one and go for it. Seems like an issue where there is no obvious "better" answer.
