Hi,

without out/ref function arguments are passed:
- by value (=the value of the thing is put on stack) for value types such as int and struct
- by reference (=the address of the object is put on stack) for reference types such as Form

with ref added, an additional indirection is used, which means when the function argument
was some variable, rather than passing the variable (as stated above) a pointer to it gets
passed, allowing the callee to modify that variable.

This allows for a method to have multiple outputs: one return value and any number of "ref"
arguments.

So you could create a method
void getThreeCoordinates(ref int x, ref int y, ref int z) {x=1; y=2; z=3;}
When called as:
int a=2, b=3, c=4;
getThreeCoordinates(ref a, ref b, ref c);
all three local variables would be changed.

A ref argument needs to have a value before it can be passed with ref; an out argument does not.
(So the example would not need initial values if out had been used).

All of this can be found in any reference manual on C# of course.

Smile | :)
