overloading

In C#, is it possible to have same parameters yet override each other(they are different in the return types)

public override Stocks[] Search(string Field,string Param){ //some code}
public override Stocks Search(string Field, string Param){//some code}

C# returns compilation error

One thing I’ve been doing a lot with it is to remove explicit Reflection code that’s often necessary when you ‘dynamically’ need to walk and object hierarchy.
