I really this is a hugely subjective topic but here is my current take:

When calling methods which do not form part of the .NET BCL named parameters should always be used as the method signatures may well change, especially during the development cycle of my own applications.

Although they might appear more verbose they are also far clearer.

Is the above a reasonable approach to calling methods or have I overlooked something fundamental?
