*Update, Dutch .NET Developers Alliance
One of my colleagues Peter Groenewegen has been added to the list. Check out his recipe for Sajoer Boerenkool, great for a team building meal ;) Peter also writes about the C# safe cast construction. Peter forgot the "is" variant. Which of the following options do you prefer? I choose #3 because it's execution is faster then option #1 and more explicit then option #2.
| public class ReferenceTypeCastingDemo { private class ACoolObject {} private class AnotherCoolObject {} public static void Main() { ACoolObject instance = new ACoolObject(); object cool = instance; // If only we had #pragma warning disable object anotherCool; // #1 try { anotherCool = (AnotherCoolObject)cool; } catch (InvalidCastException ex) { Console.WriteLine("Cool object blew in your face."); } // #2 anotherCool = cool as AnotherCoolObject; if (anotherCool == null) Console.WriteLine("Cool object blew in your face."); // #3 anotherCool = cool; if (anotherCool is AnotherCoolObject) Console.WriteLine("Some more cool code goes here..."); else Console.WriteLine("Cool object blew in your face."); } } |
