C# 4.0, optional parameters and params do not work together

How can i create a method that has optional parameters and params together?

static void Main(string[] args)
{

    TestOptional("A",C: "D", "E");//this will not build
    TestOptional("A",C: "D"); //this does work , but i can only set 1 param
    Console.ReadLine();
}

public static void TestOptional(string A, int B = 0, params string[] C)
{
    Console.WriteLine(A);
    Console.WriteLine(B);
    Console.WriteLine(C.Count());
}   

Your only option right now is to overload the TestOptional (as you had to do before C# 4). Not preferred, but it cleans up the code at the point of usage.

public static void TestOptional(string A, params string[] C)
{
    TestOptional(A, 0, C);
}

public static void TestOptional(string A, int B, params string[] C)
{
    Console.WriteLine(A);
    Console.WriteLine(B);
    Console.WriteLine(C.Count());
}

Try

TestOptional("A", C: new []{ "D", "E"});

This worked for me:

    static void Main(string[] args) {
        
        TestOptional("A");
        TestOptional("A", 1);
        TestOptional("A", 2, "C1", "C2", "C3"); 

        TestOptional("A", B:2); 
        TestOptional("A", C: new [] {"C1", "C2", "C3"}); 
        
        Console.ReadLine();
    }

    public static void TestOptional(string A, int B = 0, params string[] C) {
        Console.WriteLine("A: " + A);
        Console.WriteLine("B: " + B);
        Console.WriteLine("C: " + C.Length);
        Console.WriteLine();
    }
