(This is not a programming question). I have a bunch of
Fooobjects, all of which are controlled by aFooManager. What would you name an object that controls a collection ofFooManagers? [edit]Foo,FooManagerand the manager ofFooManagers are all processes in a distributed system. [/edit] [edit] John C is right - this really does belong in the Design forum. I might have actually got more than a couple of useful answers if I'd posted there in the first place. :-D [/edit] Thanks, /raviMy new year resolution: 2048 x 1536 Home | Articles | My .NET bits | Freeware ravib(at)ravib(dot)com

Disastermaybe? ;PMostly, 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)

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

Actually it's not a collection.

Right. I second the
FooManagerControllersuggestion then. Although some of the other suggestions are clearly more fun. Why notFooBar? It has a nostalgic ring to it...-- Peter
