[IronPython] .NET casts in IronPython

[Carolyn Johnston (MSNAR)]

You are right, I didn't need to do the cast - was just transcribing some C# code that did that for some reason.

However, it is still a good question (instead of upcasting, think of downcasting), and the answer isn't out there that I could find.

Thanks, Carolyn

Why do you need to cast to the base class?  All of the members you need should already be there.

I need to cast a .NET object A to a .NET object B. There is nothing tricky about the cast, it's a straightforward cast to a base type. How can I do this in IP?

Thanks!
