Casting Application object in C#

[=?Utf-8?B?QW50?=]

Hi,

I simply want to cast an Application object into the value it's holding. Can
this be done on onew line?

e.g. (int)Application["userCount"] += 1;
or Convert(Application["userCount"]).ToInt32 += 1;
or Int32.Cast(Application["userCount"]) += 1;
I've had to do it as below:

int userCount = (int)Application["userCount"];
Application["userCount"] = ++userCount;

How could this be done more easily?

Many thanks for any answers

More easily? Why is writing two crummy lines of code such a big deal?
Consider using public static int variable in the Global class. Then you can
do:

Global.UserCount ++;
