This approach would be like creating a long buffer of parameters in order to respond to an unlimited number of parameters being passed. Is that the only way or there is a VB.NET like mechanism?

A better solution is to use a parameter object and add a property each parameter you want to pass.

You also should be rethinking any method that needs that many parameters. Maybe you should be instantiating an object and setting properties before calling the method. I know that Steve Black talked about this in a conference session some years back. Looks like some of it is in this topic: http://fox.wikis.com/wc.dll?Wiki~OperandPrinciple
