To avoid the problem mentioned by Shashank:

  "The problem tends to be more pronounced when all the supply pins are 
hidden, because then if you're feeling lazy during the schematic 
capture, you realize the problem late into routing and don't always 
immediately realize what is wrong"

I simply make the "net" attributes value visible and locate it somewhere 
in the body of the part's outline, or in the case of really small 
outlines, I put them just outside the part. It's hard to forget that 
they are there when you see something like "Gnd:7" on a TTL part.  Once 
the schematic  and Layout is done, you can always make them invisible 
again for a prettier schematic.
