Can I have an Action<> or Func<> with an out param?

Question

I have a method with an out parameter, and I\'d like to point an Action or Func (or other kind of delegate) at it.

This works fine

Answer 1

No, not with the builtin delegates. out and ref are special qualifiers and the delegate has to be setup with them explicitly since they are completely different calling styles.

However, if you defined your own delegate, you can do this:

delegate void OutAction(out T1 a, out T2 b);
