Then just iterate through params. If you know all the arguments are going to
be strings, or integers, or whatever, you can replace object with whatever
the type is. Otherwise just go with object[] and iterate through...

Overload the function.

For example:
void MyMethod(int required, int optional)
{
}
void MyMethod(int required)
{
MyMethod(required, 0 /* put correct default value here */);
}
I would say that the reply from "pedrito" is more suitable in what one
would consider a "variable parameter list". That is, it's not so much
that a given parameter is optional as it is that you don't even know in
advance what the parameters would be (eg similar to the CRT printf()
function).
I would stick to overloading rather than the more complicated variable
parameter list unless you really need the general-purpose behavior that
the "params object[]" technique provides.

I hadn't considered that. To me optional was a VB keyword that you could
use in such cases (since it didn't support overloading), so I just
assumed that was what the OP was after.
Good call on covering all the bases though! :)

I would not do this method of an array of objects.
Too much boxing and unboxing.

Well, C++ has optional parameters as well. That is, you can assign default
values to parameters and if they're not passed, then they'll get the
default. I kind of miss it in C# because you end up creating various
overrides that all just end up calling the method with the most parameters
and assigning defaults. It'd be nice (and cleaner in the code) if the
compiled just did it for you, I think.

One alternative if you've got lots of parameters is to encapsulate them
as properties in a class. This is made particularly simple with C# 3's
object initalizer syntax. You can do:
CallSomeMethod (new SomeMethodParameters { First=10, Third=20 })
(that will leave Second as its default value, assuming parameters of
First, Second and Third).
