Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 In C Sharp, Parameters are passed by value to a method by default. If we want to pass them by reference then we can use either " out " or " ref " keyword. Output parameters : In this the variable specified at the time of calling does not need to have a assigned value. When method is invoked completely, we can read that variable. Reference Parameter : In this, we don't pass the value of the parameter instead we pass the address of the variable. No new storage is created for this. it manipulate the same storage address Reference parameters require ref modifier as part of both the declaration and the calling. /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable{mso-style-name:"Table Normal";mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0;mso-tstyle-colband-size:0;mso-style-noshow:yes;mso-style-priority:99;mso-style-qformat:yes;mso-style-parent:"";mso-padding-alt:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt;mso-para-margin-top:0in;mso-para-margin-right:0in;mso-para-margin-bottom:10.0pt;mso-para-margin-left:0in;line-height:115%;mso-pagination:widow-orphan;font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";mso-ascii-font-family:Calibri;mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin;mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-fareast;mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri;mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin;} best of luck !!!!
