how to pass param to method by ref?

[redsss]

I am calling a webservice that will return multiple integer values, so I assume the best way to do so is pass the variables by ref, right?

So I define my variables, and call the webservice...

  int foo;
  ret = mywebservice.mymethod( ref foo);

But I get a compilation error: "use of unassigned local variable 'foo'"

Since the purpose of the webservice function is to populate foo, is there a way to call the function without first setting the value of foo?

Change it from a ref parameter to an out parameter. The method you're calling is then responsible for instantiating/initializing it.
