C# Fundamentals for Absolute Beginners: (11) Creating and Calling Simple Overloaded Helper Methods
Description
Now, we begin wading into the topic of methods by creating a helper method to break out code we may need to use in multiple places within our code. We create and call our methods to retrieve a value, create and use input parameters, learn about string formatting, and create overloaded versions of our method.

KidTheReaper hi bob excellent job on the tutorials.
i have a question tho im currently using VS 2012 and it has the notification of the amount of different methods available the only problem is i cant switch between the methods to see which one is available the way you did with your arrow key.
do you know an alternative way to acces my overloaded methods or the different versions of methods available with any hints and tips? thanks in advance. -

Sabesh Bharathi Hi Bob. You know me through twitter. I am Sabesh. I am literally struck at this point. I don't understand what happens during the process of overload helper methods. I do understand we can call the methods from a point. But what is the use in deriving value from one method, and replacing it with another in another method? I am confused. Hope you clear my doubts.

P.S Did I mention your bucket-style teaching was a bit of awesome and enjoyable? ;) -
Fernando Masaya Excellent course, Bob!
Is there a table of the syntax and use of the different expression codes you apply in the course, which could be easily consulted on line and printed? I feel that to memorize the expressions I have to go back to the screens of the lessons, which takes time... -

olaalhomoud Hay,
I can't find the source code "HelperMethods" that was mentioned in the lesson anywhere here. Any help ?

Maria Thanks again, looking forward to finishing this series.

BobTabor @Maria: I don't know if you realize this but there is a more recent version of this course available at Microsoft Virtual Academy. I don't have the URL but you can easily find it by searching online or go directly to their site. It's mostly the same content but there are some improvements here and there. Just thought you'd want to know. Thanks for the nice words.

Jaybe This lesson, above all, taught me that I really suck at typing "formula".
