.NET Overload WebMethods - Possible?

Question

I have two web methods which I wish to overload:

<WebMethod()> _
Public Function GetProject(ByVal id As Int32) As Project

<WebMethod(MessageName:="GetProjects")> _
Public Function GetProject(ByVal filter As String) As Projects

I read about overloading using MessageName, however I cannot get this to work. Is this possible?
