Curb your objects!: an orthodox form for C# classes

ABSTRACT

The Orthodox Form for C# Classes (OFC#C) is an idiom proposed for the C# programming language that intends to provide its classes with a basic structure that assures a predictable behavior for creation, copy, and destruction of instances. When classes in C# are written it is desirable to build them in such a way that their instances produce objects which behave in predictable ways. Programmers tend to make mistakes when their objects behave at run time in the same way the they expect them to behave at write/compile time.
