Getting an InvalidCastException when trying something like this :
IEnumerable<object> test = (IEnumerable<object>)new List<KeyValuePair<string, int>>();
However, this did work:
IEnumerable<object> test = (IEnumerable<object>)new List<Dictionary<string, int>>();
So what’s the big difference? Why can a KeyValuePair not be converted to an object?
Update: I should probably point out that this did work:
object test = (object)KeyValuePair<string,string>;
Because it is a struct, and not a class : http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/5tbh8a42.aspx
