Question

Does anyone know of any naming convention rules/guidelines that dictate when to use a “To” prefix (myVariable.ToList()), an “As” prefix (myVariable.AsEnumerable()), or a “Get” prefix (myVariable.GetHashCode())?

Answer 1

I assume there’s no convention, so just use what fits best to what you’re doing.

• “To” creates something new/ converts it
• “As” is just a “different view” on the same f.e. by using iterators
• “Get” is a getter for everything else
