  About the naming of method.

  Jul 16, 2012 08:50 AM|LINK

  Hi, I have entity named Category, Category can be enabled and disabled for annotation and reporting.

  Now want to write a method that will enable and disable category for annotation and reporting. I have named the method EnableDisableCategory, it seems to me that the name is not suitable its not representing the purpose of the method.

  Can you please suggest what will be the suitable name?

  Regards,
  Faruk

  IsDisabled should be the property name

  by default if it is Enabled and User have to disabled it ocaasionally then it should be IsEnabled 

  and the data type should be bit in Sql Server and boolean in C#/Vb

  Thanks for the reply.

  But want a slingle method through wich I will enable and disable category for annotation and reporting.

  The method that I have written is like below :

  ChangeCategoryStatus( int categoryID,string property,bool enable);
  hrere categroyId= the id of the category whose status have change.
  property = is either annotation/reporing
  and enable= if true enable else disable.
  
  Now I have named the method as ChangeCategoryStatus.
