Method overload resolution unexpected behavior

Question

I\'m wrestling with a weird, at least for me, method overloading resolution of .net. I\'ve written a small sample to reproduce the issue:

class Program
{
            


        

Answer 1

An Enum is just mapped to an int (by default). 0 does not map to your Enum so the overload that takes an object is used. 1 maps to your enum so the Enum overload is used.

You could do this:

Execute((object) 1);

to output

object overload: 1
