C# Coding Standard

Rule: 8@106

This rule is Obsolete
Synopsis:	Allow callers to prevent exceptions by providing a method or property that returns the object's state
Language:	C#
Severity Level:	8
Category:	Exceptions

Description:

For example, consider a communication layer that will throw an InvalidOperationException when an attempt is made to call Send() when no connection is available. To allow preventing such a situation, provide a property such as Connected to allow the caller to determine if a connection is available before attempting an operation.
