optional-parameters

If I have a function with optional parameter, is there an easy way to find all the locations in my code that call that function and pass a value to that parameter? The function has many non-default parameters, so scanning the usual Find Usages results of places that call the function is problematic, as it trims the lines and I can't see if the optional parameter is used. With your cursor on the parameter, choose ReSharper | Inspect | Value Origin , or from the keyboard, Inspect This with Ctrl + Shift + Alt + A , then Value Origin . You will get an Inspection Results window with all the places

SCENARIO I'm writing a cmdlet for Powershell 2.0 using Visual Studio 2008 and .NET 3.5 the cmdlet requires 3 arguments. my intended grammar of the cmdlet is something like this: cmdletname [foo|bar] p1, p2 That reads as the user must give a value for "-foo" or "-bar" but can't give both together. EXAMPLE OF VALID INPUT cmdletname -foo xxx -p1 hello -p2 world cmdletname -bar yyy -p1 hello -p2 world EXAMPLE OF INVALID INPUT cmdletname -foo xxx -bar yyy -p1 hello -p2 world MY QUESTION My question is on how to do this in powershell so that it does all the checking for me - or if that is possible

Similar to this question , I want to mix optional parameters with the params keyword, which of course creates ambiguity. Unfortunately, the answer of creating overloads does not work, as I want to take advantage of caller info attributes, like this: public void Info(string message, [CallerMemberName] string memberName = "", [CallerLineNumber] int lineNumber = 0, params object[] args) { _log.Info(BuildMessage(message, memberName, lineNumber), args); } Creating an overload without the optional parameters would change the call-site, preventing these particular parameters from working properly. I

I am trying to set the first argument to a method as being optional, followed by any number of args. For example: def dothis(value=0, *args) The issue I am running into is that it doesn't seem like this is actually possible? When I call dothis("hey", "how are you", "good") I was hoping it would set value to default to 0, but instead it is just making value="hey" . Is there any way to accomplish this behavior? This is not possible directly in Ruby There are plenty of options though, depending on what you are doing with your extended params, and what the method is intended to do. Obvious choices

So I'm just thinking about function overloading... Overloaded methods share the same name but have a unique signature. The number of parameters, types of parameters or both must be different. A function can't be overloaded on the basis of a different return type alone. So in the following example, why overload setName rather than use optional parameters for the middle and last name values? class funOverload { public string name; //overloaded functions public void setName(string last) { name = last; } public void setName(string first, string last) { name = first + "" + last; } public void

I have installed RAD 7.5 (based on Eclipse Ganymede 3.4.0) in Spanish. I'm working with Websphere Application Server 6.1 (spanish too). The problem I have is that all console messages appear in Spanish, but translation is, in my personal opinion, quite poor (especially since even the console errors are displayed in Spanish and it's difficult to find documentation about exact error messages). I want to start the IDE in the original language (English) and I know that there is a command line switch -nl en that, placed beside eclipse executable path on program shortcut, serves for this purpose.
