How does the method overload resolution system decide which method to call when a null value is passed?
- by Joan Venge
So for instance you have a type like:
public class EffectOptions
{
public EffectOptions ( params object [ ] options ) {}
public EffectOptions ( IEnumerable<object> options ) {}
public EffectOptions ( string name ) {}
public EffectOptions ( object owner ) {}
public EffectOptions ( int count ) {}
public EffectOptions ( Point point ) {}
}
Here I just give the example using constructors but the result will be the same if they were non-constructor methods on the type itself, right?
So when you do:
EffectOptions options = new EffectOptions (null);
which constructor would be called, and why?
I could test this myself but I want to understand how the overload resolution system works (not sure if that's what it's called).
