How do you define a method with optional/default parameter?

Thanks

What's your exact requirement Have you have a look on keyword param in C#

Maybe the documentation is buried somewhere.

I just a want to implement a simple optional parameter in c#. Something like;
int Function(int index, bool recurse = true)

Its saying "Default parameter specifiers are not permitted."

For some reason, overloads don't work quite well when you are writing COM. I want to experiment if optional parameter will work.

Also just for regular programming, it will be nice to know if optional/default parameter is doable in C#.

This feature is not yet availble in C#! You already know Alternates so I'm not going on that side;

Look at the missing type¹ to invoke default parameters as found in COM from either C# and VB....if that is what your question relates too...

Other than that, you can give the appearance of default parameter by method overloading.

void DoIt(int myValue) { DoIt(myValue, true); } // Acts as default paramter.

void DoIt(int myValue, bool Operation) { ... }
