'out' parameters work outside of .NET?

Hello,

In .NET C# it is possible to define a parameter to a web service method as
'out'.  The web service method is expected to set the value of the parameter
before it completes execution.

The question:  Do 'out' parameters work with non-.NET web service
implementations, where the non-.NET implementation is consuming (calling)
the method containing the 'out' parameter?

Example, would non-.NET web service implementations be able to obtain the
value of the 'name' parameter in this .NET web service method:

[WebMethod]
public int WhatsYourName(out string name)
{
   name = "Doug";
   return 0;
}

Thanks,
Doug

Why don't you define a class that returns both a string and int? This is
a much cleaner approach in the context of web services. "out" is a C# thing,
not a web services thing (although, it does work IIRC).
