'is' versus try cast with null check

Question

I noticed that Resharper suggests that I turn this:

if (myObj.myProp is MyType)
{
   ...
}

into this:

var myObjRef = myObj.         


        

Answer 1

It should be suggesting a second change as well:

(MyType)myObj.myProp

into

myObjRef

This saves a property access and a cast, compared to the original code. But it's only possible after changing is to as.
