I'm experimenting with DynamicObject. One of the things I try to do is setting the values of ref/out arguments, as shown in the code below. However, I am not able to have the values of i and j in Main() set properly (even though they are set correctly in TryInvokeMember()). Does anyone know how to call a DynamicObject object with ref/out arguments and be able to retrieve the values set inside the method?

class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        dynamic proxy = new Proxy(new Target());
        int i = 10;
        int j = 20;
        proxy.Wrap(ref i, ref j);
        Console.WriteLine(i + ":" + j); // Print "10:20" while expect "20:10"
    }
}

class Proxy : DynamicObject
{
    private readonly Target target;

    public Proxy(Target target)
    {
        this.target = target;
    }

    public override bool TryInvokeMember(InvokeMemberBinder binder, object[] args, out object result)
    {
        int i = (int) args[0];
        int j = (int) args[1];
        target.Swap(ref i, ref j);
        args[0] = i;
        args[1] = j;
        result = null;
        return true;
    }
}

class Target
{
    public void Swap(ref int i, ref int j)
    {
        int tmp = i;
        i = j;
        j = tmp;
    }
}
