gameTimer.Tick += UpdateScreen(); --> this method is not overloaded, but it needs to be. How can I solve this problem?

Hi Bob

You can overload methods by having 2 or more methods with the same name but with different signatures.
These methods will be recognized by the compiler as seperate methods.

For example:


private void Foo()

private void Foo()


These methods are the same and will generate an error.


private void Foo()

private void Foo(int x)

private void Foo(int x, int y)


These methods are not the same and will generate no errors.
Call either method by providing the correct amount of input parameters

See this link for more information on overloading:

the same problem but not because of overloading. My VS just doesn't see this method at all.

Hello Michiel,

I am new to c# so excuse my question if it seems a little dumb. in form1> line 58. how could you construct the list "food" as new circle instance. shouldn't you be using the add keyword to add new object to food list. Thank you for reply.

Keep the good work!

I understand how to overload the method, but gameTimer.Tick += is using a call without parameters... I don't understand how that is supposed to work. (Very new to this)

[Justin]

I was able to Google a solution:

Instead of using this line of code, which gives the overload error Bob mentioned:
gameTimer.Tick += UpdateScreen();

I am using this line of code and it works:
gameTimer.Tick += new EventHandler(UpdateScreen);
