Passing an object array as ref to function.

[craigkenisston]

Hi,

I'm trying to create a generic function to call stored procedures in a
SQL Server database.
I'm passing the params, values and the direction of the params in
arrays.
The function is working, and I get the output parameters values back in
my the array I sent, however, I'd like to have the values in my
original variables, please see below :
int ID = 0;
string[] Params = {"@USER_USERID" , "@USER_ID"} ;
object[] Directions = {ParameterDirec tion.Input,
ParameterDirect ion.Output };
object[] Values = {UserID, ID};
DbSQLServer.Exe cuteScalarStore d("clsd_GetUser ID",
Params, Directions, ref Values);
Console.WriteLi ne(ID);

at the end of this run the value of ID is zero. But the value of
"Values[1]" (the second) has the returning value of my function.

What I want here, is to be able to fill the original variables
directly, I mean, to put the values in "UserID" and "ID".
I could to this easly with pointers, but without them I feel like hands
tied.

Is this possible ? Or am I just looking for something that can't be
done.

Any recommendation is welcome.

You're looking for something that can't be done, unless you resort to
unsafe code, where you can use pointers. I wouldn't recommend it though.
