vb.net to c#.net

[cathiec]

hi!

does anyone know how to convert the following code to c# from vb:

Dim sid() As Byte
sid = DirectCast(groupSid, Byte())
'groupSid is an object

thanks

Byte sid;
sid = Convert.ChangeType(groupSid, Type.GetType("Byte"));

I get the following from Instant C#:

byte[] sid;
sid = ((byte[])(groupSid));

RhymesWithOrange is correct, although I don't usually like using that many brackets... Confuses my little mind

byte[] sid;
sid = (byte[])groupSid;

Type-casting can be done without the additional brackets, unless of course you're trying to expose properties of the type-casted object (or go through the array) in which case you would need the brackets:

byte[] sid;
sid = ((byte[])groupSid)[0]; // This will access the 0th element of the byte array

... And there was my totally unneeded explanation for the day

Yeah, I've noticed that with Instant C# on a couple of things with extra brackets...

I guess it's to play it safe.
