----------------------------------------------------------- From: contact4manoj Message 2 in Discussion Not exactly Ramesh. The Out Parameter model should be used, when you do not wish to transfer the value or object into the method, but wish to enforce the method to instantiate/initialize the variable, so that when the control is returned, the value is available to the caller. This model is particularly useful, when you wish to do what is termed as "late instantiation". This type of parameter is normally found in generator methods. The concept of "functions" as you state, is actually a term originating from the Basic family of programming languages. In VB, for example, you have Sub routines (which are methods that do not return any value), and you have Functions (which are methods that can return a value). In C#, we only have methods. So, if you want a method not to return anything, you use the "void" return type to indicate this. Remember, irrespective of the programming language, we have methods. There is no such thing as functions in .NET. Every single method signature belongs to either a class or a structure. Hope this clarifies your doubt. Happy coding!
