As Peter noted you can use a TABLE parameter (to pass the complete temp-table) or a HANDLE parameter for a buffer. The challenge with using a TABLE parameter is that you will be passing more data than you may want to pass and the challenge with using a HANDLE for a buffer is that the method will need to use dynamic programming to access the information.
