Coded step methods with parameter

[algot]

How could I return some parameter from 1 method and use it as input parameter in another method?

I have 2 methods and need to communicate between them

    [CodedStep("Copy and convert Contact URL")]
    public string Copy_ContactURL()
    {
      // Copy URL of current Contact
      string contactURL = ActiveBrowser.Url.ToString();

      // Convert URL
      var nameValueCollection = HttpUtility.ParseQueryString(contactURL);

      string[] paramArray = { "preloadcache", "pagemode", "rof", "extraqs" };

      for (int i = 0; i < paramArray.Length; i++)
      {
        nameValueCollection.Remove(paramArray[i]);
      }
      contactURL = HttpUtility.UrlDecode(nameValueCollection.ToString());

      return contactURL;
    }

......
    [CodedStep("Open Contact")]
    public void OpenContact(string contactURL)
    {
      ActiveBrowser.NavigateTo(contactURL);
    }

Hi Alexander,
coded steps can't be used as a regular function that accepts a parameter and has a return value. Instead, I would suggest to:
A) Create a Utility class:
http://www.telerik.com/automated-testing-tools/support/documentation/user-guide/code-samples/general/utility-in-standalone.aspx

B) Create a static variable inside of the code-behind file (the class that contains your coded steps). Then have the functions write/read this static variable.
