params Parameter with default parameter values

I've seen the params parameter more times than I can say and always removed it without thinking about it's meaning. Now I've learned its purpose. What I just learned is that the params parameter must be the last in the parameter list. But this is what I learned about the parameters that have a default value specified. Example: 

MyMethod(string Name, int blah=0).

So the question is if I need to specify a default value as above while needing to use params, can this be done? If so, which must be declared last? Example: 

MyMethod(int blah=0, params string[] variableData).

Thanks for your help again. James

Solution

  • Your example is correct:

    public void TestMethod(string name = "asdasd", params int[] items)
{
}

    params has to be last, no matter what parameter are used before that.
