Question

I have an Interface IPager

public interface IPager
{
    int RecordCount { get; }
    int PageNumber { get; }
    int PageSize { get; }
}

public static class PagerExtensions
{
    public static int GetPageCount(this IPager pager)
    {
        var totalPages = pager.RecordCount / pager.PageSize;
        if (pager.RecordCount % pager.PageSize > 0)
            totalPages += 1;
        return totalPages;
    }
}

Does GetTotalPages sound more conventional than GetPageCount?

Answer 1

To me GetPageCount sounds better because it is closer to usual usage of code like x.Count or x.Count() for the Linq extension.

And so, it clearly explains itself. Get – as in, return something. Page – the variable in question, and Count – as in the method who’s return value is returned when applied to the variable in question.
