suitable name for function/method [closed]

Question

I have class with method that inside of it i take complex object and from it I create new object with simple structure user can work with it in more convenient way .I store this object instance in the memory and and provide simple api to it. I give it name Serializable but I'm not sure that this is the right name.

Answer 1

• Transform
• TransformToX (where X is the name of the resulting object)
• ToX (you see that a lot, for instance, ToString, ToInt32)

Answer 2

I name methods like that using names like asThing(). I suppose in C# it should be AsThing(). Another choice might be to follow the example of Java's Number class: Number.intValue(), etc.
