why doesnt c# support default arg values?

You mean like

someFN(int blah = 0, bool someFlag = true)
{
}

Probably because overloading makes them unnecessary....

Hi,

There is no need, you can use overload for the same purpouse and therefore
the compiler is simpler.

void T()
{
T( defaultvalue);
}
void T( ParamType param)
{
//...
}

Cheers,

True, but VB.NET supports overloads, and yet also supports optional
parameters.

I have yet to check whether the old C++ "gotcha" applies to virtual
methods, too, where you have to override all of the overloads if you
override one, otherwise the others become "hidden".
