.NET valid property names

Where is the documentation for valid property names in .NET? Obviously things like space, * or & aren't valid in a property name, but where is this documented?

You can look the information up for a particular language on the platform, here are a few.

C# Language
VB Language

More specifically: C# Property Declaration

From the language spec. Property names are identifiers just like members and functions. Granted, there are standard naming conventions elsewhere that are optional, but greatly encouraged.

The rules for valid identifiers apply to the properties as well.

Start looking here: C# Language Specification - 2.4.2 Identifiers
