Not quite. CType performs conversion in addition to casting, so for
example the following works
Dim o As Object = "5"
Dim i As Integer = CType(o, Integer) ' or CInt(o)
but the following doesn't
object o = "5";
int i = (int)o;
In that sense, VB.NET's DirectCast operator is more of a strict
casting operator.
