I have worked out most type casting [(int)char] and the likes but I am
curious about one aspect.
Endpoint ep...;
IPEndPoint iep...;
....
ep = (EndPoint)iep;
....
iep = (IPEndPoint)ep;
....
For some reason the above works
( http://www.wmjackson.cable.nu/website/goto.aspx?ID=4) but what I do not
understand is why?
Oddly enough, it was the only way for me to accomplish my task. 7  3197

Why would you expect it not to work? You don't actually need the cast
in the first one - you can just do:
ep = iep;
because EndPoint is the base class of IPEndPoint.
Don't forget that the variables ep and iep just hold references to
objects. Casting the reference doesn't change the type of the object at
all.

What exactly do you mean by "complained "? What did it say, exactly?

The cast in that code is unnecessary too. For instance:
using System;
using System.Net;
public class Test
{
static void Main()
{
IPEndPoint sender = new IPEndPoint(IPAd dress.Any, 0);
EndPoint senderRemote = sender;
}
}
compiles with no problems.

Hi Wayne,
IPEndPoint inherits from EndPoint type. So IPEndPoint *is* EndPoint. you can
either reference IPEndPoint objects using IPEndPoint variables or EndPoint
variables.
You don't have to use explicit cast here.
So, legal implicit casts are:
IPEndPoint ipep = .....
EndPoint ep = ipep;
object obj = ipep;

That sounds very odd, as it definitely *can* implicitly convert
IPEndPoint to EndPoint. I don't suppose you were trying to pass a
parameter by reference, were you? That would produce an error such as:
Test.cs(13,18): error CS1503: Argument '1': cannot convert from 'ref
System.Net.IPEn dPoint' to 'ref System.Net.EndP oint'
which isn't quite the same, but is far more understandable.
(Reference/out parameters must match in type *exactly*.)
But I have just rebuilt the app using the 'ep = iep' and it worked fine.
So you can't actually reproduce it now? Hmmm...
This I do not understand - is there an equivalent to VB's "Option Strict"
under C#?
No - C# is always typesafe.

The machine I originally wrote the code on had VS6, VS2002 and VS2003; I
wonder if that may have cause a problem.
The current system only has VS6 and VS2003 installed. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

** Isn't the 'static_cast' operator the same as traditional type
casting? ie, Aren't the following ways of getting b1, b2 the same?
// 'Derived' is derived from 'Base'
Derived* d = new Derived();
Base* b1 = static_cast<Base*>(d);
Base* b2 = (Base*)d; // traditional type casting
Such is my understanding from code samples, my own uses, and this:

How does automatic type casting happen in vb.net? I notice that
databinder.eval "uses reflectoin" to find out the type it's dealing with.
Does vb.net do the same thing behind the scenes when an invisible cast is
made? Is there any reason why one would use databinder.eval while in VB.NET?
I can see why one might use it in C# so as to avoid specifying the type for
the cast but since this is not necessary in VB.NET, I'm not sure I follow.

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
