Generic method to type casting

Question

I\'m trying to write generic method to cast types. I want write something like Cast.To(variable) instead of (Type) variable. My wrong versi

Answer 1

Your Cast.To() is just trying to interpret reference to given object as reference to T. Which fails of course.

And if compiler encounters (B) a and knows that a is of type A and type A has compile-time cast operator to type B - it emits this cast. It is not your case.
