SYMPTOMS
When a method has one or more overloaded versions and shows up as a called method in the Call Stack window, the type and value for the parameters are not displayed in some cases. It appears as though the method takes no parameters.



CAUSE
This occurs when the method being called is not defined as the first version of the overloaded method in the class definition. Take for example the following class definition: public class Test {      int method(short s)       { return s;      }

int method(int i)      { return i;      } }

If you were looking at a call to the second version of the method in the Call Stack window, it would appear as follows: method The type and value for the method is not displayed.



WORKAROUND
You could change the order of the method overloads so that the one you are currently debugging is first in the class definition.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
