Operation could destabilize the runtime?

Question

I\'m having a little bit of trouble understanding what the problem is here. I have a bit of code that pulls records from a database using LINQ and puts them into an object

Does it still fail if you change this:

select new SomeObject { ... } as ISomeTable;

to this:

select (ISomeTable) new SomeObject { ... };

?

If so (as I see you've confirmed), perhaps this has to do with the fact that an interface implementation could be either a class or a struct? Does the problem still appear if you cast to an abstract class rather than an interface?
