Pattern for naming CLS compatible alternative Properties

Question

If i have a property like this

[CLSCompliant(false)]
public uint Something { ... }

and want to write an alternative, i can not just write an overload as i would do for methods. But how should i name it? Is there some general way in the .NET libs?

public long SomethingAlternative { ... }

I would suggest SomethingAsInt64 to explicitly indicate the behavioural difference.

Or maybe `Something64` like Process class has – ordag Apr 01 '11 at 14:49

Don't use language keywords (especially since the purpose of this is CLS compliance!) – Mark Sowul Apr 01 '11 at 14:57

Maybe do it the reverse way: make the complaint version "something" and the non-compliant as "SomethingUnsigned"

SomethingCompliant meaning that it is compliant?

Spoken as the consumer of an arbitrary class staring at an intellisense prompt: compliant with what? – Dan Puzey Apr 01 '11 at 14:48
