Storing a reference to an object in C#
- by Jack
I was wondering how one could store a reference to an object in .net.
That is, I would like something like the following code (note, of course, that the following code may be way off from how to actually do it):
class Test
{
private /*reference to*/ Object a;
public Test(ref int a)
{
this.a = a;
this.a = ((int)this.a) + 1;
}
public Object getA() { return this.a; }
}
/*
* ...
*/
static void Main(string[] args)
{
int a;
a=3;
Test t = new Test(ref a);
Console.WriteLine(a);
Console.WriteLine(t.getA());
Console.ReadKey();
}
To produce the following output:
4
4
Ideally, I would like to do this without writing a wrapper class around the integer.
In other words, I think I want pointers in .Net.
