getting multiple values returned from a method

[Homer Simpson]

Hi All,

I'm trying to write a method where I pass three arguments and the method
returns six values. All the values will be doubles. First, is it possible to
get multiple values returned by a method? Second, how do I do it? I know how
to write the method, pass arguments to it and get a single value returned
but how do I pass multiple values back? Last, how do I reference the various
values returned? I assume there is some array used here. Any examples are
greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Scott

Just return an array of type double.

public double[] MyMethod (...)
{
...
}

Well returning an array as other have said or....

void Test(out double d1, out double d2, out double d3)
{
d1 = 1.1;
d2 = 2.2;
d3 = 3.3;
}

void UseTest()
{
double d1;
double d2;
double d3;

Test(out d1, out d2, out d3);
}

I recently used out parameters in a project and FxCop complained. Check

for the details.

In addition to the other excellent suggestions, you could define a structure
or class that would hold your values, then return an instance of the
structure or class.
