RE: [DFW CFUG] a local perspective on the CF8 wishlist

With C# you can pass nulls into a method in place of a parameter.  C# does not allow for "optional" method parameters.  But it does allow for method overload.  Method overload means you can have multiple methods with the same name, but each method must have a different signature.  A method's signature is defined by it's parameters (name and data type).  So, you can have a method named GetCustomerName(int CustomerID) and GetCustomerName(string emailAddress).  Same method name, different signatures.

 

When I first started C#, I didn't think this was a big deal.  How wrong I was.  Method overloading is awesome. 

 

 

Thanks

I don't have enough experience in other languages to know how the majority handle this, but I completely agree.  It always bothers me having to duck-type them or set them with a bogus date (or number or whatever).
