    (This is not a programming question). I have a bunch of Foo objects, all of which are controlled by a FooManager. What would you name an object that controls a collection of FooManagers? [edit] Foo, FooManager and the manager of FooManagers 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, /ravi

          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).

                  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...
