Remarks

Overloads returns a collection of all methods with the same name that are defined textually alongside the specified code function (that is, lexically in the same class definition syntax). If IsOverloaded is False, then this collection contains only one element — the specified code function.

Note

The values of code model elements such as classes, structs, functions, attributes, delegates, and so forth can be non-deterministic after making certain kinds of edits, meaning that their values cannot be relied upon to always remain the same. For more information, see the section Code Model Element Values Can Change in Discovering Code by Using the Code Model (Visual Basic).
