Cast IList to List

Question

I am trying to cast IList type to List type but I am getting error every time.

List subProducts= Model.subproduct         


        

Answer 1

List subProducts= (List)Model.subproduct;

The implicit conversion failes because List<> implements IList, not viceversa. So you can say IList foo = new List(), but not List foo = (some IList-returning method or property).
