Question

I try to cast a variable type of Object int to a var.

My try is:

var dummy = (items[items.Count() - 1].GetType()) items[items.Count()-1];

I dunno what I’m doing wrong, i cant see my error, but the debugger says that only assign, decrement and “new Object”-expressions can be used as a command… But that’s what I’m doing…

Can somebody show me my error?
Many thanks in advance, and sorry for that “beginnerquestion”.

You need to use Convert.ChangeType

var obj = Convert.ChangeType(d, items[items.Count() - 1].GetType());
