Advice on Method overloads
<p>Please see following methods.</p>

<pre><code>    public static ProductsCollection GetDummyData(int? customerId, int? supplierId)
    {
        try
        {
            if (customerId != null &amp;&amp; customerId &gt; 0)
            {
                Filter.Add(Customres.CustomerId == customerId);
            }

            if (supplierId != null &amp;&amp; supplierId &gt; 0)
            {
                Filter.Add(Suppliers.SupplierId == supplierId);
            }

            ProductsCollection products = new ProductsCollection();

            products.FetchData(Filter);

            return products;
        }
        catch
        {
            throw;
        }
    }

    public static ProductsCollection GetDummyData(int? customerId)
    {
        return ProductsCollection GetDummyData(customerId, (int?)null);
    }

    public static ProductsCollection GetDummyData()
    {
        return ProductsCollection GetDummyData((int?)null);
    }
</code></pre>

<p>1- Please advice how can I make overloads for both CustomerId and SupplierId because only one overload can be created with GetDummyData(int? ). Should I add another argument to mention that first argument is CustomerId or SupplierId for example GetDummyData(int?, string). OR should I use enum as 2nd argument and mention that first argument is CustoemId or SupplierId.</p>

<p>2- Is this condition is correct or just checking > 0 is sufficient -> if (customerId != null &amp;&amp; customerId > 0)</p>

<p>3- Using Try/catch like this is correct?</p>

<p>4- Passing  (int?)null is correct or any other better approach.</p>

<p><strong>Edit:</strong></p>

<p>I have found some other posts like this and because I have no knowledge of Generics that is why I am facing this problem. Am I right? Following is the post.</p>
