c# - How to overload a method that has params object[] as parameter -

our database has primary key defined on every table existing of combined key short , int. therefore, using entity framework can try find element calling it's context.dbset<>.find(params object[] parameters) method. in our code like:

public client findclient(short sqlid, int incid) {   context db = new context();   client result = db.clients.find(sqlid, incid);   return result; } 

however, in our code using structs store key values. our struct follows:

public struct dbkey {   private short _sqlid;   private int _incid;   public short sqlid { { return _sqlid; } }   public int incid { { return _incid; } }    public dbkey(short sqlid, int incid)   {     this._sqlid = sqlid;     this._incid = incid;   } 

and has other comparing methods etc. able call dbset.find method this:

public client findclient(dbkey key) {   context db = new context();   client result = db.clients.find(key);   return result; } 

to able wrote extension overload method:

public static partial class extensions {   public static t find<t>(this dbset<t> dbset, dbkey key) t : class   {     return dbset.find(key.incid, key.sqlid);   } } 

intellisense tells find method overloaded, 1 version accepting dbkey key parameter, , other, original method accepting params object[] parameters. however, when running code, function call original method , never overloaded, since dbkey matches original parameters, resulting in exception. how can solve problem?

well, can rename, or call static extension directly:

public client findclient(dbkey key) {   context db = new context();   client result = extensions.find(db.clients, key);   return result; }
