Can anyone explain this?

I have a wrapper function for another function. In this case if you were to step through when you hit the line
test = True
then the equivalent statement
test = test(a_iArg1, 2, 3)
is also true, all good so far, continue to step through when the test() function returns to the wrapper the statement is now false. Why is this? I know by default if a function returns a boolean it is false and feel that it has something to do with that. Any ideas?

Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        'Put user code to initialize the page here
        If (test(1)) Then
            Response.Write("true")
        Else
            Response.Write("false")
        End If
    End Sub

    Function test(ByVal a_iArg1) As Boolean
        test = test(a_iArg1, 2, 3)
    End Function

    Function test(ByVal a_iArg1, ByVal a_iArg2, ByVal a_iArg3) As Boolean
        test = True
    End Function

Try using this:

    Function test(ByVal a_iArg1) As Boolean
        Return test(a_iArg1, 2, 3)
    End Function

    Function test(ByVal a_iArg1, ByVal a_iArg2, ByVal a_iArg3) As Boolean
        Return True
    End Function

Not sure if that will fix it... but it might.
