How can you use optional parameters in C#?

We're building a web API that's programmatically generated from a C# class. The class has method GetFooBar(int a, int b) and the API has a method GetFooBar taking query params like &a=foo &b=bar.

The classes needs to support optional parameters, which isn't supported in C# the language. What's the best approach?

Another option is to use the params keyword

public void DoSomething(params object[] theObjects)

{

  foreach(object o in theObjects)

  {

    // Something with the Objects…

  }

}

Called like...

DoSomething(this, that, theOther);
