[dba-VB] Parameter objects in C# and ADO.

If a parameter in a stored procedure is declared as an output (returns a value) will the parameter 
object in C# / ADO contain that value when the stored procedure finishes?

I haven't used output parameters yet in stored procedures.  Can values be passed in via an output 
parameter or can it only be set from inside of the stored procedure?
