+Summary: Overloading a field with a method of the same name gives a compile time
+error
+
+Description of Problem:
+
+Overloading a field with a method of the same name gives a compile time
+error -- java allows this but I am not sure if the C# language forbids it.
+
+Steps to reproduce the problem:
+
+Trying to compile the following code results in a compiler error:
+
+using System;
+
+public class OverLoad
+{
+   bool Tool;
+   bool Tool( string s )
+   {
+      return true;
+   }
+
+   public static void Main()
+   {
+      OverLoad test = new OverLoad();
+      test.Tool = false;
+      test.Tool = test.Tool( "Hello" );
+      Console.WriteLine( test.Tool );
+   }
+}
+
+Actual Results:
+
+Overload.cs(6) error CS0102: The container `OverLoad' already contains a
+definition for `Tool'
+Compilation failed: 1 error(s), 0 warnings
+
+Expected Results:
+
+Should this compile per spec ( sorry for RTFS )?
