What would you name this class? [modified]

(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

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

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.
Foo,FooManagerand aFooManagerController(the name I originally came up with) are all processes in a distributed system. /raviMy new year resolution: 2048 x 1536 Home | Articles | My .NET bits | Freeware ravib(at)ravib(dot)com

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
