Am I correct in thinking that the only difference is:
ref has to be preassigned but does not have to be used in the method
out must be assigned before returning but can be unassigned before calling the method
?
Are there any notable benifits of using either one?
[edit] Just discovered that if using out, the parameter is treated as if it is unassigned (even if it's already been assigned) as soon as you call the method. So it appears that ref is kind of an input and output parameter whereas out is just output.[/edit]

ref is input output on value types. For object types while it is technically the same you can accidentally change the pointer reference if you are not careful as objects are naturally passed by referenced. This was discussed on this very forum a few weeks ago.

Perhaps not in this case. In many others it is and without doubt. We see a large number of users here that make no attempt to learn software development. They seem to believe internet forums are a replacement for learning. Given the nature of text messages it is not always apparent when someone is not in that category of users.
If you are not one of those people, then you should not be offended by my comment, correct? In fact it seems you would be inclined to agree with it.

Sorry - I never saw it, I tend to be on here daily but somehow missed that one. Apologies.

Thanks - I'll investigate further as what I did find by googling never suggested that.

Well, that's the purpose of using the ref keyword on a reference type.
Ennis Ray Lynch, Jr. wrote: as objects are naturally passed by referenced
No, they are not. You have to distinguish between passing a reference as argument and passing an argument by reference.

While you are technically correct most texts and online sources treat the value pass of a pointer to an object as a pass by value so what most people think is happening is a reference. Which is why I make the statements I did, most people do not know what actually happens behind the scenes and more often than not it creates strange bugs.

I figured this was a bit of pointer magic creating the subtle(ish) differences. I'm searching right now to find some info on what pointers are passed where and what values/pointers are changed etc in the two different scenarios. Not found much yet though.
Thanks for your clarifications.

I see that your intention was to spread knowledge of this, but as your statement is technically incorrect, it doesn't do much to help...

Objects are always addressed by reference as they are stored in the heap. The pointer to the object, which is hidden in C# is what is passed by value and reference. Both of our statements are technically correct as it depends on how you are looking at the problem. My statement does a lot of help because anyone that reads it at face value will say ... "Wow, I didn't know that I am going to do some more research".

That doesn't mean that they are passed by reference as parameters.

No, your statement doesn't become correct regardless of how you look at it. Objects are simply not passed by reference unless you specify it with the ref keyword.
Ennis Ray Lynch, Jr. wrote: My statement does a lot of help because anyone that reads it at face value will say ... "Wow, I didn't know that I am going to do some more research".
And one of the first thing that they find out is that it is wrong, and say "Wow, what a wild goose chase I was fooled into".

I think you suffer from a fundamental misunderstanding of pointers and dynamic memory. Spend some time in c and come back to the subject when you are refreshed.

I spent some time in C, as well as several other languages. If you can't see where you are wrong, I am afraid that it's you that lack some crucial understanding of how pointers work. Perhaps you should try some assembly language programming to get a firm grip about how everything works under the hood.

There is a difference between passing a reference and passing a reference to a reference and I would have thought someone with assembly language experience would have known that.

I know the difference. If you also truly knew the difference you should not say that object are passed by reference. Or is it that you don't know the meaning of what you said?

Hmm, interesting discussion. Maybe you're assuming references to behave like C++ references?
struct S
{
void SayHello() {}
}
void Caller()
{
S *s = new S();
Callee(s);
}
void Callee(S *p)
{
p->SayHello();
}
Will you agree that the instance pointed at by s is passed by reference?

Not at all.

No, it's not a copy of the instance that is passed. It's the value of the variable s that is passed, which happens to be a pointer to the instance.
Was that code supposed to show an example of a C++ reference? Because it isn't.
