C# IS possible to name a method in class named new?

example:

class document
{
    public void new()
    {
    }
    public void save()
    {
    }

}

visual studio claim that new is red-underlined with error. I need that all is lower-cased to arrange cleanliness

For those seen this Questions:* **(Answer)C# Naming rule violation: Words must be begin with Upper Cases!!!

NO, you can't since new is a keywoard. But, YES, you can escape keywords by @ if accepted.

class document
{
    public void test()
    {
        this.@new();
    }

    public void @new()
    {
        Console.WriteLine();
    }
}

C# suggests using upper camel case in class name and method name.

Since keywords are in lower cases, upper camel case names, like void New(), are unaffected.

No you cannot use keywords as identifiers. See article https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/x53a06bb.aspx.
