casting problem

[Jeroen CEuppens]

Hi

I want to know which type the object is. So I can cast another object to
that Type, I can't use (Type), because I don't know

which Type it will be. I want to use these code, but it gives me the
following errors:



Additional information: 'TypeConverter' is unable to convert
'typecasttest.LijstNode' to 'typecasttest.GetImageNode'.




LijstNode lijst=new LijstNode();
GetImageNode gi=new GetImageNode(); //public class GetImageNode : LijstNode
Type t;
TypeConverter tc =new TypeConverter();

t=gi.GetType();
tc.ConvertTo(lijst,t);


What did I do wrong?

If you don't know which type it will be, what benefit would casting
give you? If you don't know the type, you can't use any of the members
of it anyway.

You can get the type of any object with GetType()
