Thank you all for your input.

Hello All, My question is whether there are best practices around color-coding flow-charts and similar diagrams. Do certain colors belong to certain symbols? (such as Yellow for "decisions" while green for "data") If so, what are they? Are there resources online that you know of regarding this?

Programming isn't something you should just hack around and hope something works

I actually know a couple of well respected developers that have mastered the ability to "just hack around". A sort of meta-p.o.c. type development. The things that work correctly, stick, while the things that do not, changes until it works correctly. QA/QC would be obsolete if everything worked the first time -which is realistically known as inconceivable. The type previously described is one way to make it to QA. I take a different approach personally but, it really doesn't matter as long as the code functions as required, is maintainable, and is complete in the allotted time. What are "best practices" anyways other than socially acceptable opinions? Don't get me wrong, I do tend to agree with development best practices but when it comes down to it, it is merely an officially accepted opinion on how things should be.

There has been references to "Exists" from FileInfo. You CAN "Empty" something while you canNOT "Exists" something therefore, "Exists" is valid as a boolean property. The question is more about grammar and how we associate words and actions. "IsEmpty" is asking a question with only two answers (boolean true/false). "Empty" is either stating something is empty or indicates an action that can be taken to obtain something that is empty (String.Empty allows you to obtain an empty string). Therefore, if a boolean value indicating whether a Polygon 'is empty' is needed I would suggest "IsEmpty". If you would like to obtain an empty Polygon, Polygon.Empty will suffice.
