Make your function return array of values. Or
Pass in parameters ByRef rather than ByVal

You can also create a structure defining all the values you need, and pass the structure.
Same for a class. You can make a new class, and pass that instead.

Hi,

You could return an ArrayList. This offers that flexibility that you can store objects of different types as well the size can vary if needed.

Having a ref or out parameter is another option for achieving the same.
