How to cast Object to its actual type?

Question

If I have:

void MyMethod(Object obj) {   ...   }

How can I cast obj to what its actual type is?

Answer 1

I don't think you can (not without reflection), you should provide a type to your function as well:

void MyMethod(Object obj, Type t)
{
    var convertedObject = Convert.ChangeType(obj, t);
    ...
}

UPD:

This may work for you:

void MyMethod(Object obj)
{
    if (obj is A)
    {
        A a = obj as A;
        ...
    } 
    else if (obj is B)
    {
        B b = obj as B;
        ...
    }
}
