The sign bit only matters to the one interpreting the number, it doesn't affect marshaling. >Also, I want to know how to choose between ref and out parameters. That's usually obvious from reading the documentation. If you need to pass anything in to the function, use ref. Otherwise, if the parameter is only for output, use out so you don't have to waste time initializing the local variable and to potentially improve marshaling performance.
