Question

I have an object that I work with, and it is placed within a lot of dictionaries and lists, so when I call it, the line gets really long, and I would like to be able to just do some things quickly using its reference, like so:

ref MyObject o = thingsStorageClass.dictionary[anotherDictionary[list.key]];
o.someField = value;
int i = o.integer;
DoStuff(o.specialSomething);

But it seems I can’t just place ref before a local object initialization. How do I do something like this without using an external method with my object as parameter?

Answer 1

Just remove ref and it will work, because o is an instance of class MyObject, so it is reference type. You won’t create new instance this way.
