Hi,

Take this code...

SortClauseFactory.Create((SubscriptionsFieldIndex)Enum.Parse(typeof(SubscriptionsFieldIndex), sort), SortOperator.Descending)

So the correct version of create won't be known until runtime and yet the different version are overloads.

Is this a special feature of .net? Are there any other ways of binding at runtime except virtual functions?

Cheers, I.

Well you ask a question and the answer immediately comes! I'm getting mixed up, its not binding a different method at runtime. You'd get a different method if it was a diffferent type of enum not value.

Yes that's typical overloading of a method.
