I completely agree with Booch. While people may use words whatever way they like as far as I'm concerned, "polymorphism" loses it's meaning if the interface changes. Technically there's no difference between methods f() and g() compared to f() and f(int). They're simply different methods. Overloads are useful, but only for the human users of the code. If I offer multiple ways to do the same thing, such as specify a timeout using either the number of milliseconds (int) or a TimeSpan, it is obviously easier for the user to cope with two methods with the same name instead of getting potentially far more method names in his intellisense list. But that is also the extent of it's usefulness - it has nada to do with polymorphism/virtual method invokation/late binding.

I suppose my opinion ought to be expected if you read my entries elsewhere in this thread. Smile | :)
