Overloading a params function with an IEnumerable

Suppose I have two functions:

Foo(params INotifyPropertyChanged[] items)
{
   //do stuff
}

Foo<T>(IEnumerable<T> items) where T : INotifyPropertyChanged
{
   Foo(items.ToArray());
}

The second one allows me to call Foo from a generic class with the constraint where T : INotifyPropertyCh开发者_开发知识库anged, but the second resolves to itself so I get a stack overflow exception.

1. Is it possible to specify which overload I want to call when there's some ambiguity?
2. Is there another way to call a params function from a generic class, assuming the generic type's constraints make it a viable option for the params type?

Thanks in advance!

You need to pass a INotifyPropertyChanged[], not a T[].
For example:

Foo<T>(IEnumerable<T> items) where T : INotifyPropertyChanged
{
   Foo(items.Cast<INotifyPropertyChanged>().ToArray());
}

In general, however, it's better to call the IEnumerable version from the params version, like this:

Foo(params INotifyPropertyChanged[] items)
{
   Foo((IEnumerable<INotifyPropertyChanged>) items);
}

Foo<T>(IEnumerable<T> items) where T : INotifyPropertyChanged
{
   //do stuff
}

You could try casting the input.

Foo<T>(IEnumerable<T> items) where T : INotifyPropertyChanged
{
   Foo(items.Cast<INotifyPropertyChanged>().ToArray());
}

If this doesn't work, I don't have an idea, you are probably out of luck.
