Cast an object to a base type C# with Example
Given the following definitions : public interface IMyInterface1 { string GetName(); } public interface IMyInterface2 { string GetName(); } public class MyClass : IMyInterface1, IMyInterface2 { string IMyInterface1.GetName() { return "IMyInterface1"; } string IMyInterface2.GetName() { return "IMyInterface2"; } } Casting an object to a base type example : MyClass obj = new MyClass(); IMyInterface1 myClass1 = (IMyInterface1)obj; IMyInterface2 myClass2 = (IMyInterface2)obj; Console.WriteLine("I am : {0}", myClass1.GetName()); Console.WriteLine("I am : {0}", myClass2.GetName()); // Outputs : // I am : IMyInterface1 // I am : IMyInterface2
