Hi everybody,

I am wondering if what I've written is OK or it's better to use boolean merhod here and return row as a parameter?

/// <summary>
        /// Returns row for Pass table
        /// </summary>
        /// <param name="sqlCommand"></param>
        /// <returns></returns>
        public DataRow GetPassRow(SqlCommand sqlPassCommand, ref String messageText, ref Int32 statusCode)
        {
            DataSet ds;
            if (database.ExecuteSqlCommand(sqlPassCommand, out ds, ref messageText, ref statusCode))
                return ds.Tables[0].Rows[0];
            else
                return new DataRow(); // Empty data row
        }

The problem I see here is how should I examine the result of this method when I call it? Perhaps it's better to use the out parameter?

Thanks in advance.
