CodeCastExpression Class
Represents an expression cast to a data type or interface.
System.CodeDom.CodeObject
System.CodeDom.CodeExpression
System.CodeDom.CodeCastExpression
Namespace: System.CodeDom
Assembly: System (in System.dll)
The CodeCastExpression type exposes the following members.
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | CodeCastExpression() | Initializes a new instance of the CodeCastExpression class. |
| CodeCastExpression(CodeTypeReference, CodeExpression) | Initializes a new instance of the CodeCastExpression class using the specified destination type and expression. |
| CodeCastExpression(String, CodeExpression) | Initializes a new instance of the CodeCastExpression class using the specified destination type and expression. |
| CodeCastExpression(Type, CodeExpression) | Initializes a new instance of the CodeCastExpression class using the specified destination type and expression. |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| Expression | Gets or sets the expression to cast. |
| TargetType | Gets or sets the destination type of the cast. |
| UserData | Gets the user-definable data for the current object. (Inherited from CodeObject.) |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| Equals(Object) | Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (Inherited from Object.) |
| Finalize | Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.) |
| GetHashCode | Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.) |
| GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.) |
| MemberwiseClone | Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
| ToString | Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.) |
CodeCastExpression can be used to represent an expression cast to a different data type or interface.
The Expression property indicates the CodeExpression to cast. The TargetType property indicates the type to cast to.
This example demonstrates using a CodeCastExpression to cast a System.Int32 value to a System.Int64 data type.
// This CodeCastExpression casts an Int32 of 1000 to an Int64. CodeCastExpression castExpression = new CodeCastExpression( // targetType parameter indicating the target type of the cast. "System.Int64", // The CodeExpression to cast, here an Int32 value of 1000. new CodePrimitiveExpression(1000) ); // A C# code generator produces the following source code for the preceeding example code: // ((long)(1000));
Windows 8, Windows Server 2012, Windows 7, Windows Vista SP2, Windows Server 2008 (Server Core Role not supported), Windows Server 2008 R2 (Server Core Role supported with SP1 or later; Itanium not supported)
