passing static variables to a function

Question

i have the following global variables

private static Queue<List<object>> webdata1Queue = new Queue<List<object>>();
private static Queue<List<object>> webdata2Queue = new Queue<List<object>>();
public static DataTable products1;
public static DataTable products2;

and this function

private void Downloader(Queue<List<object>> webdataQueue,Datatable products)
        {
        }

is this the right way to pass static variables to a function? i need to pass the declared variables because i will be using the same function with 2 different threads.

@Saurabh but i mean when i pass it like this, does it get passed by its adress in the memory, or another copy of the variable is made in someother place? — user1590636

@fenix2222, object's address is passed by value, Not really pass by reference, since you can't assign null to the object in a method. See Parameter passing in C# by Jon Skeet — Habib

its just that i wat to treat them as global variables without having to write the function twice!, so which one of you is right?!by default ref or value?! — user1590636

If you are going to assign null to that variable or initialize it inside method then it wont work, but you can pass it like you are doing if you are just modifying properties of it and adding items to list.
