What's the difference between casting an int to a string and the ToString() method in C#

Question

What\'s the difference between casting an Int to a string and the ToString() method ?

For example :-

int MyInt = 10;
label1.Text = (string)MyInt;             


        

Answer 1

The difference is that with the cast, you ask the compiler to assume that the int is in fact a string, which is not the case.

With the ToString(), you ask for a string representation for the int, which is in fact a string :)
