When should a C# operation be a method rather than a property?
Use a method if it’s expensive, performs a conversion, returns a different result each call, or causes side effects.
Lazy-loading and internal caching are reasonable exceptions.

Properties should be stateless with respect to other properties. Setting DataSource then DataMember should have the same result as the reverse. Sounds trivial, but I've seen plenty of classes where properties were anything but simple.

Over the years, I've seen my fair share of heated debates about #codingconventions—how to layout code, the maximum length of a line, the spacing between braces and parentheses, when to use a line break, and many more details like that. (cont'd)
