Is it possible for a function to return two values?

Question

Is it possible for a function to return two values? Array is possible if the two values are both the same type, but how do you return two different type values?

Answer 1

You could use the out parameter.

int maxAge;
int minAge;
public int GetMaxAgeAndMinAge(out int maxAge, out int minAge)
{
    MaxAge = 60;
    MinAge = 0;
    return 1; //irrelevant for this example since we care about the values we pass in
}

I really tend to stay away from this, I think that it is a code-smell. It works for quick and dirty though. A more testable and better approach would be to pass an object that represents your domain (the need to see two these two values).
