C# 4.0 Feature - Named Arguments
Let’s discuss about the new feature in C# 4.0 “Named Arguments”. As seen in the last post regarding “Optional Arguments”, we would have wondered for the “Add” method we had three parameters. But If we wanted to pass the first and third parameters instead of second , Is this possible ? Lets see the code below private int Add(int i, int j = 1, int k = 0) { return i + j + k; } private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { MessageBox.Show(Add(2, 3).ToString()); } This will look like we are passing for value “i” and “j” and not “k”. So how can we achieve this ? In C#4.0 we have a new feature called “Named Arguments” where we can pass arguments with the parameter name : . The above code would be rewritten as follows private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { MessageBox.Show(Add(2,k:3).ToString()); } Hope this was cool feature. Please add your comments or suggestions. Cheers!!!
