I think removing optional should give you the correct behavior - if that Works then yes it is the expected behavior :). I guess we're checking for Optional before DefaultValue and for Optional we are matching the reflection behavior of passing Missing.Value. It also gives you a way to disambiguate whether the user passed None/null or if they didn't provide the parameter. _______________________________________________ Users mailing list Users@lists.ironpython.com http://lists.ironpython.com/listinfo.cgi/users-ironpython.com
