Overloading in VIsual basic.NET

     Overloading in visual basic.net is the method by which a property or a method takes different forms at different instances. It can also be termed as "Polymorphism".

Example:

   Module Module1
    Public Class mul
      Public a, b As Integer
      Public c, d As Double
      
      Public Function mul(ByVal a As Integer) As Integer
         Return a
      End Function
      Public Function mul(ByVal a As Integer, 
                  ByVal b As Integer) As Integer
         Return a * b
      End Function
      Public Function mul(ByVal d As Double, 
                     ByVal c As Double) As Double
         Return d * c
      End Function

    End Class

    Sub Main()
        Dim res As New mul
        System.Console.WriteLine
                ("Overloaded Values of Class Mul is::")
        System.Console.WriteLine(res.mul(10))
        System.Console.WriteLine(res.mul(20, 10))
        System.Console.WriteLine(res.mul(12.12, 13.23))
        Console.Read()
    End Sub
End Module

Output:

    Overloaded values of Class Mul is:
    10
    200
    160.3476
