Defining a managed member function which takes a “ref� param

[Cmtk Software]

The following code:

public __gc class MyClass
{
public:
void MyFunc (int __gc* number);
};

Generates the following metadata when compiled in VC 2005 with the
/clr:oldsyntax switch in a DLL project:

public class MyClass
{
public MyClass();

public void MyFunc(ref int number);
}

I’d like to use C++/CLI’s new syntax and declare a “ref class�.
I could not find the appropriate CLI syntax for declaring a function
parameter, which will appear as “ref� in the metadata.
I tried using the “int^� definition but it’s not possible to call this
function from C# and pass it a variable by reference.
I also tried using the [System::Runtime::InteropServices::OutAttribute] but
the function declaration in the metadata appears without the “out� for the
number param.

What’s the correct CLI syntax for defining a "ref"/"out" function parameter?

Thanks in advance.

public class MyClass

{
public MyClass();

public void MyFunc(ref int number);
}

Hi,
public void MyFunc(int % number);
should do the trick.
conceptually, % matches with ^ like & matches with *
