== Why is this an issue?
|
|
|
|
When a reference parameter (keyword ``++ref++``) is used, the passed argument type must exactly match the reference parameter type. This means that to be able to pass a derived type, it must be cast and assigned to a variable of the proper type. Use of generic methods eliminates that cumbersome down casting and should therefore be preferred.
|
|
|
|
|
|
This rule raises an issue when a method contains a ``++ref++`` parameter of type ``++System.Object++``.
