I think a more specific example of what you are trying to code is needed for me to really understand what you are trying to do. I see no problem with having a bunch of methods that are named the same but have different input params. From what I gather from you though, perhaps you can use something like this:

public void  printGreeting( string Name, string Address, int Age, bool  Married, int CustomerLevel )
{
     switch( CustomerLevel )
     {
          case 1:
               //do something 
               break;
          case  2:
               //do something 
               break;
          case  3:
               //do something  
               break;
          case  -1:
               //perhaps this can be the case where this parameter is empty or
               //should not have a value 
               break;
     }

     switch ( Name )
     {
          case  "Jane Doe":
               //do something 
               break;
          case  "John Smith":
               //do something 
               break;
          case  "Englebert Humperdinck":
               //with such a name he should always have his own case
               //do something
               break;
          case  "":
               //again, perhaps this can be the case where this parameter is
              //empty or should not have a value 
               break;
     }
     if ( Married )
     {
          //do something
     }
     else
     {
          //do something else, or not
     }
}


...again, I am not sure exactly if that will help, or particularily what you are trying to accomplish. If you can post some of the code you already have , that would be great!
