In 0

An incoming field.

Out 1

An outgoing field.

Ref 2

A field by reference.

Examples

The following example demonstrates use of FieldDirection to indicate the field direction types of the parameters of a method in a method declaration.

C#
// Declares a method.
CodeMemberMethod method1 = new CodeMemberMethod();
method1.Name = "TestMethod";

// Declares a string parameter passed by reference.
CodeParameterDeclarationExpression param1 = new CodeParameterDeclarationExpression("System.String", "stringParam");
param1.Direction = FieldDirection.Ref;
method1.Parameters.Add(param1);

// Declares a Int32 parameter passed by incoming field.
CodeParameterDeclarationExpression param2 = new CodeParameterDeclarationExpression("System.Int32", "intParam");
param2.Direction = FieldDirection.Out;
method1.Parameters.Add(param2);

// A C# code generator produces the following source code for the preceeding example code:

//        private void TestMethod(ref string stringParam, out int intParam) {
//        }

Remarks

FieldDirection allows for passing arguments to functions by reference, or using incoming or outgoing parameters.
