The procedures discussed in the previous section, UpdateGuessButtons, are called methods. A method is a procedure or function associated with a class. In the case of the Guess the Die Roll program, the UpdateGuessButtons method is associated with the fGuess class, which is a subclass of the .NET Framework form class.
Methods are often thought of as the “do work” code for a class. Because of this, it’s common that a method name is an action phrase or a verb. Look at all of the method names associated with the final (version 1) fGuess class in the Guess the Die Roll program, and you’ll see a pattern:
RollTheDie
UpdateDiePosition
DrawDie
UpdateGuessButtons
Each of the method names has a verb in it, and thus it’s self-evident what task each method performs.
