Methods With Same Name as Constructor - Why?

Question

Why is the following allowed:

public class Foo {
  public Foo() { ... }
  public void Foo() { ... }
}

Is there ever a valid reason for nami

Answer 1

I cannot see a valid reason for it.

C# provides a compiler error - "Member Names Cannot Be The Same As Their Enclosing Type"

It could be quite confusing, especially when using reflection to look at the composition of an object.
