Please take a look at the following code:
Public Sub Method(Of TEntity As EntityObject)(ByVal entity As TEntity)
If TypeOf entity Is Contact Then
Dim contact As Contact = entity Compile error
Dim contact = DirectCast(entity, Contact) Compile error
Dim contact = CType(entity, Contact) Compile error
End If
End Sub
Any ideas?
Either one of the following works, I guess I will use the first one:
Dim contact As Contact = DirectCast(entity, Object)
Dim contact As Contact = Convert.ChangeType(entity, TypeCode.Object)
This should not give you a compile error and should properly cast it to the type you are looking for:
Dim contact As Contact = TryCast(entity, Contact)
