How can i implicitly convert my class to another type?

Question

For example implicitly

MyClass myClass = new MyClass();
int i = myClass;

Answer 1

You need to define this in the MyClass file.

public static implicit operator int(MyClass instance) 
{
    if (instance == null) 
    {
        return -1;
    }
    return instance._underlyingValue;
}
