Returning multiple results from a method [duplicate]

Answer 1

A more generic implementation will be

C#

public class ReturnMessage
{
    //indicates success or failure of the function
    public bool IsSuccess { get; set; }
    //messages(if any)
    public string Message { get; set; }
    //data (if any)
    public T Data { get; set; }
}

VB.NET

Public Class ReturnMessage(Of T)
    'indicates success or failure of the function
    Public Property IsSuccess As Boolean
    'messages(if any)
    Public Property Message As String
    'data (if any)
    Public Property Data As T
End Class

By this method one can pass the ex.Message in the catch block and Data in the try block
