workaround for paramarrays in vb.net

Hi,

Iam trying to convert a VB6.0 class library in which I have implemented
byref paramarrays for pulling the values back to the caller method: A sample
method is given bellow:

public function getFields(sForm as string, paramarray Fields() as variant)

I would use this method as follows:

dim iVal as integer
dim sVal as string
getFields("myform", "field1",iVal,"field2",sVal)

The value of field1 will be populated in iVal and field2 in sVal. This
way I can get multiple values from the getFields method. Now when this is
ported to VB.Net it fails as paramarray is passed byval.

Questions:
a) What could be an alternate solution where this can be acheived??
b) The solution should work with the existing way how getFields is being
called. Otherwise there would be significant changes required in the code and
its not desirable now.

Thanks in advance
