reference to reference. possible?

Hi

Is there any way to simulate a pointer to pointer equivalent in C# using
references and without dwelling into unsafe code?

For ex, I have a class variable.

A var = new A();

which say, is equivalent to C++ code

A * m_p = new A();

I want to have a variable which is equivalent to

A ** m_pp = &m_p;

So at any given point of time, i will know what m_p is currently pointing
to. Is it possible?

Thanks in advance

Raj
