== Why is this an issue? Properties and Get method should have names that makes them clearly distinguishable. This rule raises an issue when the name of a public or protected member starts with 'Get' and otherwise matches the name of a public or protected property. === Noncompliant code example [source,csharp] ---- using System; namespace MyLibrary { public class Foo { public DateTime Date { get { return DateTime.Today; } } public string GetDate() // Noncompliant { return this.Date.ToString(); } } } ---- === Compliant solution [source,csharp] ---- using System; namespace MyLibrary { public class Foo { public DateTime Date { get { return DateTime.Today; } } public string GetDateAsString() { return this.Date.ToString(); } } } ---- ifdef::env-github,rspecator-view[] ''' == Implementation Specification (visible only on this page) === Message Change either the name of the property "XXX" or the name of the method "GetXXX" to make them distinguishable. === Highlighting Primary: Property declaration Secondary: Getxxx method endif::env-github,rspecator-view[]
