ROSLYN.DESIGN.CA1021 : Avoid out parameters (C#)

See Roslyn-Detected C# Warning Classes for more information.

Summary

Passing types by reference (using 'out' or 'ref') requires experience with pointers, understanding how value types and reference types differ, and handling methods with multiple return values. Also, the difference between 'out' and 'ref' parameters is not widely understood.

This check corresponds to Roslyn rule CA1021. For full rule details, see the Microsoft website: CA1021.
