Examples

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));

' This CodeCastExpression casts an Int32 of 1000 to an Int64.		
Dim castExpression As New CodeCastExpression( _
    "System.Int64", New CodePrimitiveExpression(1000) )
    
' A Visual Basic code generator produces the following source code for the preceeding example code:

' CType(1000,Long)

Remarks

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.
