I have a class called PriceStep. I keep a list of PriceStep objects in a class called PriceStepSearchSpace. Now I am required to have different PriceStepSearchSpace objects for different products and I need to keep them in some sort of a dictionary. I called this new class PriceStepSearchSpaceRepository. Can you think of a simpler/short...
I'm not sure how to name data store classes when designing a program's data access layer (DAL). (By data store class, I mean a class that is responsible to read a persisted object into memory, or to persist an in-memory object.) It seems reasonable to name a data store class according to two things: what kinds of objects it handles; ...

I'm in the middle of a debate here at work. Say you have a POCO named Person. Person has an identifier. I'm in the camp that says the identifier should be named Id. class Person { public int Id { get; set; } } The other camp says it should be named PersonId. class Person { public int PersonId { get; set; } } Is one more ...
Hi, Whenever I use a variable name that stands for a primary key as int pk_MyObject = GetPrimaryKey(myObject) ReSharper complains about the pk_MyObject and offers me to rename it pkMyObject. How can I add a new rule to ReSharper so that it does not complain about variable names such as xx_YYYYY ? ...
I recently ran across a set of code which instantiated local maps as following: HashMap<String, Object> theMap = new HashMap<String, Object>(); Typically, when I've seen HashMaps used (and used them myself), the local variables are simply Map (the interface), rather than being tied to the specific implementation. Obviously this is re...
Trying to do everything by the book, is this correct?: public class JollyHockey { public string AnotherCoolProperty { get { return anotherCoolProperty; } } string anotherCoolProperty; public JollyHockey(string anotherCoolProperty) { this.anotherCoolProperty = anotherCoolProperty; } } Or do some people us...
I've noticed that the convention for JMX MBeans appears to deviate from the standard Java Bean property model in that the names for attributes will traditionally start with a capital letter, i.e. PascalCase. To explain this a bit more clearly, I'll take an example from the JDK (chopped down a bit for clarity) : public interface Memory...
We are startingt o build the database fresh, lots of tables and fields to create for a social website. There will be heavy API implemntation so I am pushing the tech team for solid documentation of data schema, however lost on naming for fields and tables.

I was wondering what is better or more accepted when coding in PHP. I was taught, in Java, that class methods to get and set variables should be prefixed with "get" and "set". What I want to know, though, is should I use these prefixes on regular PHP functions. For example, to retrieve a username from a session variable I would either h...
Is it possible to set a naming convention for all collection of an entity even if I use the Access Strategy or not, so that all collection names are {EnityName}s instead of {entityName}s (because of Access.CamelCaseField(Prefix.Underscore) the first letter is lower)? Or is there a way where I can tell NHibernate that it shall use the as...
Is there some purpose for this convention? ...
What is a good naming convention for multi-layered services and DAOs in a multi-tier applications? In most of our application we have two layers of services, where the top level services use either DAOs or lower-level services for persistence and other tasks. Both the top-level services and lower-level services end with "Service" in th...

When using the Agent Smith plugin for ReSharper, I get the warning "Enums that are not flags should not have plural names" for an enum that ends in Status. For example: public enum SomeStatus { Success, Failed } In fact Status is not plural, so this isn't really in violation of the naming rule. I found this ticket from 2008 br...
Is it wrong to call a class a FooFactory if it doesn't always create Foo objects? For example if I have the following interface: public interface IFooFactory { Foo Create(); } and implement it as follows: public class FooFactory : IFooFactory { public IFoo Create() { return ServiceLocator.Current.GetInstance<IFoo>...
In the following code you'll see a simple lexer that conforms to the following regular expression: \d*(\.\d*)?([eE]([+-]\d+|\d+))? If I were to use this design for something more complex, all of the anonymous delegates would be a nightmare to maintain. The biggest challenge I am facing is what to name the methods that would act as cho...
