Yep, that's exactly what I meant. In Cecil they are represented by the same type, a ReferenceType, with no distinction between them. > The return type is a part of the method signature.

The common language runtime allows you to overload the methods on the > return type and even on the calling convention." Thanks for the correction on that. I was pointed that way by CLS Rule 38, "Properties [and methods] may be overloaded based only on the number and types of their parameters, except the conversion operators ... which may also be overloaded based on their return type." However, based on your feedback, I realize that I needed to distinguish between a CLS rule and the CLR behavior. So you're quite correct, and thanks again for pointing that out! -- Keith --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ -- mono-cecil -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
