Agree.

Sorry, that was a little harsh, I should have said *one of* the village idiots, there's at least a dozen I'm sure if I added them all up. ;)

What's a foo? If you're using "foo" as a name for something in production code, I think you have bigger problems than what to call a foo object manager manager. Might as well call it "bar", after all, you'd be hard pressed to obsfucate your code further. Besides, changing class names is a low risk operation, so don't fret over it. D'oh! Nevermind. Haven't had my coffee yet :) Overseer? UberManager? OverLord (that one's always fun)? Controller? Foreman? Container?

You all bitch and moan when someone posts a programming question here, I point out quite rightly that we have a design forum and you vote me down and proceed to answer Ravi. Away and raffle your donuts! :mad:

how about FooDirector or FooController (apologies to MVC)? or redefining the level you call something a manager so that that: FooMgr | |FooCollection, FooCol, FooSum, or Foos (yes, plurals are usually a no-no). | | | | Foo, FooItem, or FooDet | | | | Foo | | |FooCollection | | | | Foo | | Foo or you could design the whole Foo to be recursive, such as in System.Collections.Specialized.NameValueCollection, whereby the uppermost level item becomes the parent, or 'manager'. moving to Parent/Child removes the whole Manager concept; that's how the Http Request object is structured. and if that doesn't cover it then this post is probably FooBar :-\

Thanks. I think many folks are missing the point that
FooandFooManageraren't vanilla objects, but running services; hence the need to be able to actively "manage" (rather than simply aggregate) these entities. I've decided to go with my original choice ofFooManagerController, which while quite a tongue twister, explicitly conveys that it controls one or moreFooManagerinstances. /raviMy new year resolution: 2048 x 1536 Home | Articles | My .NET bits | Freeware ravib(at)ravib(dot)com

That's Foony, I've been reading these posts when it occured to me how Foocking ridiculous people can be and how Foor they can take things. Foormally, I've foound that my foondest memories have been when I foollowed my heart and struck out on my own. However, this has resulted in my biggest foolures and foollies. Now I'm beginning to realize that I was just fooling myself and that the true foon in life is in foollowing the great ideas of others and fooguring out a way to make them even more foontastic. Just a foought foorom a fooriend here at code project. Don't foorget the lesson I've learned and you will lead a foofulling life, too. Foorever, -Erik

Have you considered going with FooQueue (go on, say it out loud - it makes sense then).
Deja View - the feeling that you've seen this post before.

If objects shouldn't control other objects, then what the hell good are they? You just write little objects and say: "See what pretty code I made?" Good grief.
