We've got the following repository method

public IList<Foo> GetItems(int fooId, int pageIndex, int pageSize
, string sortField, string sortDir, out int totalItems)
{
// Some code
}

My question is: is it ok to use out in this way. I'm somewhat uncomfortable with out, but can't come up with a better way to write this as a single call.
