Question

If you a have Person Property on Address defined like

public class Address
{
   public int AdressId {get; set;}
   public Person AddressesPerson {get;set;}
   public string FullAddress {get; set;}
}

What is the proper conventions, if any, for naming a property of another type?

Answer 1

I don’t think there’s a hard and fast rule, but generally I like to stick to the following guidelines as much as possible:

• Don’t repeat the name of the class. This one can be surprisingly hard to work around, but it’s usually solved by thinking hard about the second rule:
• Think about the properties role in the class, and not just what it is. In your example, Owner might be an appropriate property name, since a Person owns a particular Address.
