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

This method might not be the most efficient but is simple and does the job.

It performs two operations: firstly it calls .ToString() which is basiclly a serialization, and then the deserialization using Newtonsoft nuget (which you must install).

public T Format(Object obj) =>
    JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(obj.ToString());
