[AccessD] Moving to .Net (was Ded Moroz sends you ...)

Thanks Mike,

I realized that. Just wanted some clarification from Shamil on what he meant. 

You can also overload operators in C#, just as you can in C++. So you can define a '+' operator for a class to make it do concatenation or addition that makes sense for the class.

BTW my first name is Lambert. :-)

Heenan, what you are showing is called overloading.  Same method name but different parameters and return type.  You typically see this with the default constructor being overloaded, for example validating the input values.  The default constructor mearly intializes the private variables to a default value where an overloaded method actually checks if it is vaild and throws exceptions if needed.  Overloading can also occur using inherited methods (from the parent or superclass).
