How to avoid “too many parameters” problem in API design?

Question

I have this API function:

public ResultEnum DoSomeAction(string a, string b, DateTime c, OtherEnum d, 
     string e, string f, out Guid code)

How about creating a builder class inside your data class. The data class will have all the setters as private and only the builder will be able to set them.

public class DoSomeActionParameters
    {
        public string A { get; private set; }
        public string B  { get; private set; }
        public DateTime C { get; private set; }
        public OtherEnum D  { get; private set; }
        public string E  { get; private set; }
        public string F  { get; private set; }

        public class Builder
        {
            DoSomeActionParameters obj = new DoSomeActionParameters();

            public string A
            {
                set { obj.A = value; }
            }
            public string B
            {
                set { obj.B = value; }
            }
            public DateTime C
            {
                set { obj.C = value; }
            }
            public OtherEnum D
            {
                set { obj.D = value; }
            }
            public string E
            {
                set { obj.E = value; }
            }
            public string F
            {
                set { obj.F = value; }
            }

            public DoSomeActionParameters Build()
            {
                return obj;
            }
        }
    }

    public class Example
    {

        private void DoSth()
        {
            var data = new DoSomeActionParameters.Builder()
            {
                A = "",
                B = "",
                C = DateTime.Now,
                D = testc,
                E = "",
                F = ""
            }.Build();
        }
    }
