Parameter types

What is translated > Routines > Parameter types

Parameters either are passed to routines by value or be reference.Strings are passed as references, but behave as if they were passed by value (because of its copy-on-write technique). Further there are constant parameters and untyped parameters. Different cases of single parameters and how they are translated are listed below. Array parameters are discussed in the array section.

The Delphi var keyword becomes to ref in C# and const doesn't exist in C#.

Pointer, PChar and Pointer<T> are classes to simulate pointers.
