Overload SET accessor in C#

[$tatic]

I want to overload my SET accessor.

Basically, if a string is passed as a parameter, I do a certain action (here, I created a new instance of the class Mailbox then I assign) or if it is an instance of Mailbox I assign directly .

Of overloading method what.

The problem is that the code No. 1 launches me compilation error (Error 2 The type 'CoreNet.Common.WebElement.MailStyle' already contains a definition for 'From') and the No. 2 code compiles well which is normal.

public string From 
{
set 
{
base.From = new MailAddress(value);
}
}
public MailAddress From
{
set { base.From = value;); }
}

Which ultimately would like this:

public void SetFrom (string Mail) 
{
base.From = new MailAddress(Mail);
}
public void SetFrom(MailAddress Mail) 
{
base.From = Mail;); 
}

C# to implement this syntax to replace the methods SetXXXX Java, Java allows overloading of property of a SET, I do not understand why this is not possible in C#

How?

I do not understand why this is not possible in C#

It is not possible because 1. stupid and 2. not the use case. A property is a property, is equivalent to a member variable with potentially the logic behind. If you want to override the methods you use methods.

Why overload string From if it is the same as the parent class

It actually has no interest of wanting to overburden the type of property. Therefore prohibited. JAVA manages it so differently, which is an advantage in this case, but is a big disadvantage in terms of readability of code.
