The C# compiler doesn't know about const in a method definition, so it can't differentiate between the methods. I don't believe the CLR understands this use of const either, so the IL generated will be the same.

Is there any way to use such method in C# code? Currently I have: e:\classlibrary1\class1.cs(34,13): error CS0121: The call is ambiguous between the following methods or properties: 'ManagedClass.MyClass.foo(ManagedClass.MyClass)' and 'ManagedClass.MyClass.foo(ManagedClass.MyClass)' Thanks, Regards, Bogdan =================================== This list is hosted by DevelopMentorŽ http://www.develop.com Some .NET courses you may be interested in: Essential .NET: building applications and components with C# November 29 - December 3, in Los Angeles http://www.develop.com/courses/edotnet View archives and manage your subscription(s) at http://discuss.develop.com =================================== This list is hosted by DevelopMentorŽ http://www.develop.com Some .NET courses you may be interested in: Essential .NET: building applications and components with C# November 29 - December 3, in Los Angeles http://www.develop.com/courses/edotnet View archives and manage your subscription(s) at http://discuss.develop.com
