Cast Object to Generic List

Question

I have 3 generict type list.

List = new List();
List
 = new List
();
List = new Lis         


        

Answer 1

What a sticky problem. Try this:

List c = null;
List
 a = null;
List d = null;

object o = GetObject();

c = o as List;
a = o as List
;
d = o as List;

Between c, a, and d, there's 2 nulls and 1 non-null, or 3 nulls.

Take 2:

object o = GetObject();
IEnumerable e = o as IEnumerable;
IEnumerable c = e.OfType();
IEnumerable
 a = e.OfType
();
IEnumerable d = e.OfType();
