Question

Suppose I have an array of string boxed to an object:

string[] files = Directory.GetFiles(path);
object obj = files;

How can I unboxed the files into array of string again?

Answer 1

The as operator is like a cast except that it yields null on conversion failure instead of raising an exception. As operator

string[] someVarArray = obj as string[] 
if(someVarArray!=null)
{
 //do something
}
