Is C# capable of handling method versions?
For example, if I have two methods with same name and parameters in Ruby, the most recent version gets executed.
How C# handles this? Will it raise an error or execute the recent version?

You cannot have two methods with the same name and parameter list in the same class in C#. You need to differentiate the methods somehow, either use different names or differing parameter types and/or different number of parameters. You will simply get a compilation error.
While there is no notion of “most recent version” of a method in C#, it sounds like you are trying to accomplish a form of method overriding (I’m not familiar with ruby so I do not know what most recent version means), you may be able to achieve something similar by sub-classing and method overriding.
