public class C{
public static string M(ref string s) {
string old = s;
s = "new string";
return old;
}
}

Subject: [IronPython] Passing a reference to a string
I'm trying to call a C# method from IP that takes a reference to a
string as one of its parameters. I'm passing it a System.String()
object, but the string is not changed after I call the method. I know
that CPython (and presumably IP) strings are immutable so how do I get
C# to change the string object that I pass in?
Thanks,
John
