Alternative to C#'s out and Tuples

gistfile1.cs

using System;

namespace TuplesSuck
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            var returnedCount = 0;
            var returnedString = "";

            InitString('c', 100, (count, seed) =>
            {
                returnedCount = count;
                returnedString = seed;
            });

            Console.WriteLine("Returned Count: {0}", returnedCount);
            Console.WriteLine("Returned string: {0}", returnedString);

            Console.ReadKey();
        }

        private static void InitString(char seedChar, int howMany, Action<int, string> result)
        {
            result.Invoke(howMany, new string(seedChar, howMany));
        }
    }
}

NOTE: This is a stupid example. I could have come up with a better one, but I'm lacking creativity at the moment.. :P
