C# :Passing Parameters by Reference Or How to use “ref” Keyword in C#.

Hi friends,in this article I will explain about C# Passing Parameters by Reference Or How to use “ref” Keyword in C#.
In Previous articles I explained about ASP.NET MVC Tutorial or Intro to ASP.NET MVC 4 or what is MVC (Model – View – Controller),Detecting sequence of at least n sequential/Consecutive Dates from a given List in ASP.NET using C# or VB.NET and CSS - Gmail-style progress bar when page is loading

A reference parameter is a reference to a memory location of a variable. When you pass parameters by reference, unlike value parameters, a new storage location is not created for these parameters. The reference parameters represent the same memory location as the actual parameters that are supplied to the method.

In C#.Net:

using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Linq; using System.Web; using System.Web.UI; using System.Web.UI.WebControls; public partial class _Default : System.Web.UI.Page {     protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)     {         int y = 1;         ex(y);         Response.Write(y + "<br/>");         int y2 = 2;         ex2(ref y2);         Response.Write(y2);     }     protected void ex(int x)     {         x = 10;     }     protected void ex2(ref int x)     {         x = 10;     } }

The output of the above code as shown in the below figure.
1 
10
The output of y after calling a method will be 1 because changes in the called method does not affect there.But the output y2 after calling a method will be 10 because changes in the called method does effect there.
