Are ILists passed by value?

Question

Passing Value Type parameters to functions in c# is by value unless you use the ref or out keyword on the parameter. But does this also apply to Reference Types?

Answer 1

your list is passed by reference. If you want to pass a copy of the list you can do:

IList clone = new List(list);

if you add/remove elements in clone it won't modify list but the modifications of the elements themselves will be taken into account in both lists.
