how to define the optional parameters for a method or
function in c# ?

I am trying to convert an application from VB.NET to c#,
and don't know how to do the above without overloading.

Thanks,

Tapasvi

You can't. The closest you can get is a params which allows for an
arbitrary number of parameters.

You can't, you have to use overloading.
 
Tapasvi,

No, it is not. Basically, say you have a method like this:

public void DoSomething(int myParam)

If you want to have a default value, you would create an overload that
does this:

public void DoSomething()
{
// Call the overload, passing a default value of one.
DoSomething(1);
}

Hope this helps.
 
Thanks to all for helping out.

Is it possible to default to a value for a parameter ?
