No not really the same.

If you have C# Function foo(int x, int y)

you can call it as foo(var1,var2)

With the .NET libraries for MySQL. If something is an OUT parameter
e.g. foo(IN x INT, OUT ret INT) you can no call it like this
foo(var1,var2), you HAVE TO CALL it like this foo(x,ret), where x and
ret are you local variables. Anyway we digress.

Thanks for the response.
