Question

it is a bit unusual question but I am unable to get casting error when casting numeric types. I would need to get some error like “value too short” etc. but seems that C# guards it quite well.
Could you provide me with a simple code that fails on casting? (like stackoverflow..)

Answer 1

You can use the checked keyword to explicitly check for overflow of integral type conversions:

int i = int.MaxValue;
short s = checked((short)i);

There is also a checked compiler flag which can make checked conversions the default.
