Return multiple values to a method caller

Question

I read the C++ version of this question but didn\'t really understand it.

Can someone please explain clearly if it can be done and how?

Answer 1

You cannot do this in C#. What you can do is have a out parameter or return your own class (or struct if you want it to be immutable).

Using out parameter

public int GetDay(DateTime date, out string name)
{
  // ...
}

Using custom class (or struct)

public DayOfWeek GetDay(DateTime date)
{
  // ...
}

public class DayOfWeek
{
  public int Day { get; set; }
  public string Name { get; set; }
}
