object - C# - Returning mixed types in a function -

i have different data types need in function. data needs processed in function , returned object believe called.

this not tested code wrote here, think displays im trying .. hope guys can me out how it.

private void button_click(object sender, routedeventargs e) {      // here im calling function returns data object      object thoseprocesseddata = sometestobject(5, "abc", someotherthing);       // when returned want able use different data so.       string useitlikethis = thoseprocesseddata.newstring;      int numberslikethis = thoseprocesseddata.newnumber; }  public object sometestobject(int numbers, string letters, anothertype anothertype) {       string newstring = letters.substring(0,5);      int newnumber = numbers + 10;      anothertype newtype = anothertype.something();       return processeddata; } 

please guys dont kill me, if stupid question. im still new c# ..

if dont im trying do, please ask! since english not best thought way best show want..

create class holds data want pass , return:

public class data {    public string letters { get; set; }    public int number { get; set; }    public anothertype thing { get; set; } } 

pass method:

var data = new data { letters = "abc", number = 5, thing = someotherthing }; dosomething(data); // here data have modified values 

thus class reference type, changes members inside dosomething method, reflected in data object reference. so, changes can like:

public void dosomething(data data) {      data.letters = data.letters.substring(0,5);      data.number += 10;      data.thing.something(); }
