Everytime I do work for a client that has internal coding standards I find myself having to change between using the letter "m" or an underscore "_" or, God forbid, both of them "m_", when I need to name some variable that has a public property associated with it.
Here is what I consider to be a better fourth option. Enclose all of your backing variables into a structure. Then create a single instance of that structure and store it in a private variable called "Local".
It's easy to do, easy to read/write and provides a single method that works for everyone.

End Structure
Private Local As New backingStore
Public Property FirstName() As String
Get
Return Local.firstName
End Get
Set(ByVal value As String)
Local.firstName = value
End Set
End Property
End Class
