No, but it's a design question and we have a forum for that. :)

FooManagerCollectionController? ...or how about "Fred"?

FooCEO?

Since it deals with Managers, how about Fool? :)

Disaster maybe? ;P

Mostly, when you see programmers, they aren't doing anything. One of the attractive things about programmers is that you cannot tell whether or not they are working simply by looking at them. Very often they're sitting there seemingly drinking coffee and gossiping, or just staring into space. What the programmer is trying to do is get a handle on all the individual and unrelated ideas that are scampering around in his head. (Charles M Strauss)

It's bloody obvious FooFighters!

If you follow the conventions used in the .NET Framework: class name: FooManagerCollection. property name: FooManagers (for a property that returns a FooManagerCollection). By using the suffix "Collection", you're also indicating that the class behaves like a collection, so you might want to base it on CollectionBase. As that class predates generics, you might also want to implement ICollection<FooManager> and IList<FooManager> (this may happen automagically with CollectionBase now - I actually never tested that - but I suspect not).

Yep, that's what I originally chose. I was wondering someone had a better idea. Thanks, /ravi

Actually it's not a collection. Foo, FooManager and a FooManagerController (the name I originally came up with) are all processes in a distributed system. /ravi

Right. I second the FooManagerController suggestion then. Although some of the other suggestions are clearly more fun. Why not FooBar? It has a nostalgic ring to it...

FooFoo :-) I must admit that sounded funnier in my head than it looks in print. Oh well.
