Interfaces
- Interface names must begin with "I". The rest of the name should be descriptive of it's their responsibility.
- Single method interfaces can usually be suffixed with "able" such as ICloneable, IPassivatable, etc.
...
- Most class names should be nouns.
- If implementing a single interface, base the name on that of it's its interface.
- If a class is the only implementation of an interface available in the system, the class can begin with "Default" or end in "Impl".
- A class which supplies or resolves another entity should be an XxxResolver, XxxProvider or XxxFactory
- Objects which hold others allowing the retrieval later should be a "Repository" or "Registery"
- Most other cases should have a noun as it's root where possible, IVehicle, IContentGenerator
- If a class is involved with another either by servicing or modifying the another or is just intimately involved in some way, including the name of that other as part of the name is encouraged. Examples: RepositoryListener, CustomerDetails, FooRegistry,
