Type casting C vs C++

Wherein differences between type casting in C++ : static_cast,
dinamic_cast, reinterpret_cas t, const_cast
and
C type casting, like xxx = (type)yyy;

What, when and why is necessary to use?

What does your favourite C++ book say about them? What don't you
understand in what your favourite C++ book says?

Again, what does your favourite C++ book say?

** 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: http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/tut5-4.html

This question has probably been asked a million time, but here it comes again. I want to learn the difference between the three type cast operators: static_cast, reinterpret_cast, dynamic_cast. A good way to do this is by example. So I will give an example and please tell me what you think: I have a base class A with a virtual destructor, and a class B that is it inherits publicly from A and defines som extra stuff.

Can someone explain how to cast an object to a specific type during runtime? // This line of code tells me the objects type. System.Type type = System.Type.GetType("string of the type"); // This line of code compares the objects, but the compiler doesn't like my casting. return ((type)object1 <= (type)object2) ? true : false; The compiler doesn't like my casting of (type)object1 or (type)object2.

This has been bugging me for a while now. GetType isn't availble for variables decalred as interface types, I have to DirectCast(somevariable, Object). In example: Sub SomeSub(ByVal Dictionary as IDictionary) If Dictionary is Nothing Then Return Dim o as Object = DirectCast(Dictionary, Object)

Hi there, Is there anyone that knows how to do the following? I have a class A and a class B, that 100% inherits from class A (this means that I don't have other code in class B, than the Inherit statement).

Why (type*)pointer isn't equal to *(type**)pointer, In the code snippet, it shows that: (int *) == (int **) , (int *) != (*(int **)) . Does type-casting change the address? or doesn't type-casting do anything? 1 int main(void)

I have code below and it works properly but when I'm compiling it with "--pedantic" flag, GCC(3.4.2) shows such warning: "ISO C forbids casting nonscalar to the same type". How can I change this code to get rid of this warning? /*parameters is void* type*/ struct params p = ( struct params )*( ( struct params * )parameters );

Are there any important differences between the following two ways to convert to a type?... where 'important differences' means something more profound than a simple syntax preference of the developer. x = someObject as MySpecificType; x = (MySpecificType) someObject; Thanks.
