Hi all,
Im just curious, what is the purpose of the keyword "Overloads" in VB
nowadays?
I understand conceptually what overloads are and what they do, but im a
little puzzled,
because if you declare two subs or properties or functions with the same
name but
different signatures, it seems to overload them without any problem anyway,
so why
is the keyword there?
Does using the keyword just work as some sort of compiler hint or something
or ?
Cheers!

Its just there... a optional use... no big deal if you use it or if you
don't...

IIRC 'Overloads' is not always optional (see documentation).

Here's a simple example on where teh Overloads keyword is necessary:
Public MustInherit Class Class1
Public MustOverride Sub Method1()
Public MustOverride Sub Method1(ByVal x As Integer)
Public MustOverride Sub Method1(x as Integer, y as String
End Class
Public Class Class2
Inherits Class1
Public Overloads Overrides Sub Method1()
End Sub
Public Overloads Overrides Sub Method1(ByVal x As Integer)
End Sub
Public Overloads Overrides Sub Method1(ByVal x As Integer, ByVal y As
String)
End Sub
End Class
In the "Class2" definition, the "Overloads" keyword is necessary or your
code will not compile.

What is the C# equivalent for this VB.NET code:

I'm creating a user control that has a textbox along with a couple of
other controls in it.
I'm mapping most of the textbox methods and properties to my control
using the textbox names. I'm having a problem with the "Select"
method. "Select" is a Visual Basic keyword, so the IDE will not let me
create that method. I'm currently using "Selects" instead, but I like
consistancy.
Anybody know a work around?
