[@realtimberstalker]

Honestly, I really love learning about C# and all the things you can do with it. For example, did you know you can return a reference from a function, and store it in a reference variable, so that setting that reference variable changes the one returned by the function? You can even set a variable to be a reference to an array index. Doing ref var foo = ref arr[0]; and foo = new Foo(), will actually set arr[0] to the new foo? I dont even think Microsoft remembers that they put this in, because List doesn't have a ref option when accessing the array item.

[@realtimberstalker]

After thinking about it some more, i realized that they probably didnt allow a List to return a reference because adding or removing a new item from a list actually generates a new array and the reference would become invalid very quickly.
