c#- method overloading question

[DotNetGnat]

Hi Guys, i wanted to use optional parameters in c# but i read that it is not allowed...anyways i have something like this and it is not throwing an error...can someone please check whats wrong with this:

in the interface i have:

string UserList()
{
get;
}

string UserList(int flag)
{
get;
}

and in the class i have:

public string UserList
{
   get
   {
     return UserList(1);
   }
}

public string UserList(int flag)
{
   get
   {
     if (flag!=null) 
      {
       //do something
      }
      else
      {
      //do someother thing
      }
    }
}

[red]the error it throws is that class already has definition for UserList[/red]

unlike in Java, where Types, methods and fields may have the same name, its not the same with c#. this is what i read online:

"The name of a constant, field, property, event, or type must differ from the names of all other members declared in the same class."
